❌1. Call seems to be the worst out of all the New York schools. Great exposure but the residents seemed tired

What is the most chill NYC program?
sinai = cornell
columbia
einstein
NYU
downstate
something to think about is that cornell and columbia have twice as much call as sinai and nyu due to class size
cornell & mt sinai
TEA TIME ANSWERS PLS: Can we talk about the massive exodus/restructuring of high-profile faculty from top institutions over the past 6 months? Like Harvard literally spread its seed all of the eastern seaboard, everybody leaving was being made chair/PD of everything. I'm overexaggerating a bit but still, very surprised, it almost feels like a conspiracy uwu
Also UTSW, columbia
like whomst
feel like probably related to changes in research funding no?
yes Harvard sux nobody go
isn't chair of Brown leaving?

Thoughts on UMKC?
Ranking it higher because St. Louis >>> Columbia, MO
it's in kansas city not STL
Anyone know programs that have good fertility coverage in their insurance :D?
Whered u interview is the real question for this
UCSF has 30k!
Penn, Columbia >Mayo has tons of support, UCSD also has robust fertility benefits (I think 20-30k)
are fertility benefits mainly egg freezing or do they are include IVF?
i think both
a handful of programs ive interviewed at have had this. so nice to see!
Is there a way to see the fertility specific coverage in a plan or did the programs specifically highlight it as a benefit? would love to know which programs have coverage!
Does anyone have any insight on what the program at Mizzou is like? everyone there seemed super nice so was just wondering!
Rotated there - some of the friendliest and most down-to-earth faculty and residents I've ever worked with. Lots of peds derm on the faculty, very welll-rounded curriculum IMO. Columbia is very college town-y so that could be a plus or minus depending on where you are at in life
Very kind faculty who want to teach. They will be having residents go to a smaller town 30 min away starting next year but could be a positive if you like that
UCSF vs Columbia vs UCLA?
depends on goals but i would definitely rank ucla last and you cant really go wrong with either UCSF or Columbia
does university of missouri-columbia not do a social or info session??
Doesn't look like it
thoughts on columbia v cornell interviews?
felt like both were pretty equivalent, decent vibes at both
didnt interview at columbia but cornell was relatively chill
cool thanks
other thoughts?
cool thanks
Thoughts on Columbia interviews?
they were columbian
some rooms were good, most were bad lol
same with NYU meepl
bad how?
I thought it was fine/standard idk (for both NYU/columbia)
same thought they were both as expected, nothing bad
the questions were definitely harder than average but doable I thought... and I totally was expecting cold demeanor but overall they were nice!
How are Columbia interviews going?
Best program in NYC? All around, not just prestige?
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
Columbia = NYU
Cornell
Albert Einstein
Rochester
SUNY Downstate = Stony Brook
Northwell
NYMC
St. John's Episcopal
St. Barnabas
I'd say it goes: NYU
Montefiore = SUNY Downstate
Sinai = Columbia = Cornell
Northwell
NYMC. (Rochester and Stony Brook are not NYC, and idk anything about St John's/St. Barnabas)
Really?? What makes montefiore above Sinai /columbia?
NYU
Sinai >= Columbia = Cornell
