Fame & Shame

1. The faculty and residents are incredibly kind

1. Not their fault, but the commute between sites really sucks and is why I won't be ranking it higher. Most residents live in UES which is great but the commute is between 45 min to 1 hr 15 depending on what site you're at.

Did anyone else interviewing at Montefiore get the impression that they completely did not prepare to interview you/was reading your application 2 min before? They mixed up my med school with my undergrad, thought I got a second degree but it was a research year, got major details just slightly wrong, etc it was weird/bad look for them x2

Does anyone know how many people Montefiore/Einstein is interviewing? In my interview day we were only 5 applicants, and there are only 2 interview days with AM and PM sessions so I'm wondering if they're really only interviewing 20 applicants for 7 spots...

Montefiore/Einstein has gotten some heat in past year spreadsheets for asking illegal questions in interviews. For those of you that already interviewed, did this happen? I wonder if with the new chair this year the interview day experience has improved

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I'm starting to look at the Hofstra/Northwell presentation - what have other people done and does everyone bring a powerpoint? This is lame.

For those that interviewed at Montefiore today, what did you guys think? I was excited because the residents seemed awesome last night, but I felt like I completely botched my interviews, like the faculty were kind of awkward/I didn't connect with anyone. Anyone else felt this way, or did I just not mesh with the program?

To all the interviewees I met on the Hofstra interview today: I thought you guys were some of the most non-awkward, down-to-earth, easygoing people I've met so far and I had fun with you all today> I agree! not gonna lie at first I was like who are these people, but after chatting with y'all for a good amount you are awesome and I really enjoyed meeting all of you :)!

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