I'm applying for next year's match and with 15 days out to send out the applications, my research about the programs is almost complete. I'm a fairly strong applicant and I hope to get interviews from most everywhere. I still want to apply to 20+ places because 1) I'm inherently paranoid about these things, and 2) I have a ton of time in my hands, and want to use this opportunity to explore the different cities as well. I'm single, and I have NO geographical preferences (apart from preferring cold to very hot weather aka Arizona/Texas). These are what I have so far, not necessarily in order:
MGH/McLean
Longwood
Cambridge
Columbia
Cornell
NYU
MSSM
UCLA
UCSF
UCSD
UW-Seattle
MCW
Northwestern
UPenn
UPitt
UMich
MUSC
UNC
UTSW-Dallas
Brown
Yale
Please don't tell me that something on the list, like Yale, is not very competitive, and they are not traditionally considered as one of the top programs in the country. I've been speaking to many, many people since the start of my third year to come up with this list, and each program on it belongs there for one reason or the other. I've also left out some programs that seem good on paper but are notoriously workhorse-ish like Baylor or OHSU.
What are the other top programs in the country I have missed? Top either in overall training like MGH/McLean, or exceptional in a few particular aspects of psychiatry like Cambridge, Cornell and MCW in psychotherapy training.
TIA!
