Your REAL List

[Seaglass]

Ok, paranoid as I am I'm not posting until 0000 but I wanted to have the first post because I'm so vain I guess or because I know my infant son will still be keeping me up then. Anyway - see ya at 0000.

Casey

Ahh, now I see Iwakuni has beat me to it, but technically his is in another thread.

Ok, couldn't wait - here it is (drumroll please):

1. Wake Forest
2. UNC
3. Duke
4. East Carolina
5. Palmetto-Richland
6. Penn State
7. Christiana
8. Med Col Ga
9. UVa
10. York
11. Emory
12. EVMS

For me it was primarily a location thing (obviously). My wife wanted to be in a relatively urban area. Rotated at Wake and their strong points were 8 hr shifts, volume, peds, location, people. Faciltites and IT weren't so great but location is about as perfect as possible and you don't have to travel far between hospitals.

UNC was almost #1 but I drove from UNC to wakemedand the drive pushed it down the list when you factor in that you're doing 12 hr shifts or 10's at Wake Med. Also somewhat higher cost for housing (my wife and I want a house). But would be absolutely happy there as #2.

Duke looks good, volume a little low but otherwise what's not to like. Location slightly suboptimal.

I should say something about Penn State - my (new) home program. I just didn't want to stay in PA and be a guinea pig at a new program, but I think the program will be great.

out, to rock my baby to sleep and watch Star Trek

Here goes:

1. South Florida
2. Johns Hopkins

4. Maryland
5. Duke

What can I say - I fell in love with Tampa after spending a month with the people there. It would also be nice to help shape something great into something greater. Hopkins grew on me after the first 15 minutes there. Christiana was incredible during the month I was there - great residents and faculty.

I will truly be happy wherever I end up - but I hope its with Quinn...

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!

8. York - Nice ED, but location was questionable...

6. U of Chicago--great residents and all sites were great clinically

8. MGH/BW--really great program but I belong at a county place
9. Jacobi
10. BIDMC--see #8, also, bit too frat feeling

3. Geisinger: Did a month there. Like the program, like the people, get to fly A LOT...
4. Mississippi: Didn't expect to rank a 4-year this high, but this place was awesome. ED is old, but otherwise I'd be very happy with this one

I've been trying to post this for a week and a half now, and finally fixed the problem on my computer. My final list:

1. Denver
2. BIDMC
3. NYU/Bellevue
4. Carolinas
5. MGH/Brigham
6. Mount Sinai
7. Cincinatti
8. St. Lukes/Roosevelt
9. Boston MC
10. Beth Israel NYC


Having said that..... for those of you who posted your list in alphabetical order - I mean, why even bother? How is that helpful? I think that sharing our lists with each other can be extremely helpful (I know I could have definitely used the extra info), and that concerns over PD's reading these posts and trying to figure out who you are are EXTREMELY paranoid and silly. The moderators of this forum should make an effort next year to make people feel more comfortable posting lists in time.

 

[bcrosspac]

Good Luck to everyone. Here's my list as well:

1) Duke: A great new program with fantastic potential.
2) MCG
3) St. Vincents Toledo
4) Jacksonville
5) Baltimore/UM
6) Tampa-really liked this program and the people were awesome. Too concerned about the Team Health thing especially after the Phyamerica fiasco.


20 days and counting.......

Actually, I'm not sharing my actual ROL with anyone. The truth is that I would be very happy with any of my top five, unfortunately, people are likely to see my second choice as just that, my second choice, even though the reality is that the line between #1 and #2 is almost too small to measure. As for those afraid of PDs on the forum, keep in mind that until Quinn took over, a PD was a moderator. Figuring out "identities" would be easy, I ran into several SDNers, both applicants and residents, on the 'trail. I think that fear can be justified. Lastly, how, other than in the abstract, would anyone else's list help you? Are you saying that if enough people, here in this little, self-selecting corner of medical education, didn't like a program, you wuld lower your ranking? If so, I'm sorry. You should realize that somewhere out there is a person, similar to you who HATED your #1, of course there is also someone who loved the place you hated. That is why the whole process was set up to offer some choice...

- H

Waiting for match day with baited breath. Good luck all - even you palmettobay, sorry I couldn't help you with your list!

holy cow. paranoid much? i think people are just curious to see how people put their rank lists together once everything's said and done. i doubt a PD is going to come in here and try to figure out who is who just to be able to rank an applicant lower if they don't think highly of their program.

you're entitled to your opinion though. good luck on the match

Alright, let's remember this thread is for people who want to POST THEIR LISTS, not argue about why you should or shouldn't.

double that

 

[bcrosspac]

To those that have asked, I am an osteopathic applicant and have previously posted my ROL on 2/27/04 on this thread. I chose to apply only to those allopathic programs that had previous DO's in their programs as stated in the EMRAMATCH.ORG template or on their programs website.
