Anyone with any new information on the WVU or Mercy Pitt transitional years? I see that some people have posted that Mercy Pitt is a good/"cush" TY and some say its horrible?! Just looking for some new info...they were not too nice on the phone, thats for sure.
 
Bump -- anyone who can speak intelligently on this?

I've heard from someone who just interviewed at WVU that the folks are awfully nice but that there are only 3 electives. Half-way between a prelim and TY program. 40% of the spots are reserved for folks staying at WVU for rads / ophtho / whatever.

How about the Mercy-Pitt TY. Some say it's awesome; others say the leadership has changed and now it's tough and not so nice. Anyone?
 
Same question about Mercy from me. I got an interview offer today and don't know if it is worth bumping some other programs to go to.
