This may have been alluded to before on the spreadsheet, but is Sinai really some hotshot program like the doximity rankings say? Or is that just a fluke ranking and Sinai doesn't belong in that tier

Fame & Shame
2025–2026 Derm
3 entries❌1. almost pointless to apply here if you aren't a research fellow or have a strong connection. nepotism is worth more than anything else here
❌2. I was offered an away in June and had to decline it because in their offer email they stated that because of the "number of attendings we would be rotating with" we should not expect letters of recommendation nor ask for them.
💬1. seriously, why would ANYONE waste a signal here if you didnt do a RY with the department? 90-100% of their spots go to their own fellows.

Thoughts on NYC program rankings. Previously it was discussed that NYU > Columbia > Cornell = Montefiore > Sinai=Downstate > Northwell > Stony Brook. Do we agree?
