for people fortunate to have interviews at all these place, will anyone be ranking nyu or mt. sinai over columbia/cornell? it would be interesting to hear why..

i seem to remember from my interview day that one of the residents casually mentioned how there are no "real" caps, so that interns might be carrying >12 patients at a time. can anyone verify if this true?

your point is very valid, but just to let you know, i've received a personalized response to each thank you email ive sent, so they are definitely reading them. also, the advice that I spoke of came from a panel of all the program directors at our med school.....so rest assured if you are...

ditto regarding the advice from my school....emails way preferable

hi choker....i know it'd seem that way. but Penn was my top choice since i interviewed in november. i would have chosen it regardless of the scholarship. the scholarship was amazing, but it didnt change my opinion of the school.... :)

i think its downright silly to go to a school based only on its name. HMS is a good place for lots of people, but only for a certain type. if you're into research, you couldn't pick a better place. but if youre interests are less "academic" and more clinical and real-world, i dont think HMS...

I think your experience would be vastly different at each school. I got into both schools and just withdrew from Cornell. I happen to think Penn is hands-down a much better place overall. The 1.5 year curriculum is a great idea...gets you into the hospital faster. I also dont think that...
