on a similar note: what's the best program in a major city?

Harvard or Penn (if you consider Boston and Philly decent sized cities)

NYC Power Rankings: Mount Sinai

I'd say it goes: NYU

NYU

Columbia = NYU

Cornell

Albert Einstein

Rochester

SUNY Downstate = Stony Brook

Northwell

NYMC

NYMC. (Rochester and Stony Brook are not NYC, and idk anything about St John's/St. Barnabas)
