What do you like most?
-
Great specialty mentoring. Pass-fail grading during first 2 years with all lectures recorded. The hospital has nearly every residency specialty, and it seems like most of the programs like to match Sinai students. Housing is very affordable and has good amenities, also provides a sense of community since most students live in the same building.
-
Very open to student feedback. Encourages clinical competency. Very supportive staff. Great study spaces. Great housing opportunities. Location.
What do you like least?
-
I felt very little guidance from administration; it feels like it is assumed that you already know exactly what's going on and what to be doing. Will definitely try to sway you towards primary care during the first two years. Very heavily focused on a PC culture, perhaps too much. Can have kind of a clique-ish atmosphere among some of the students, but that is probably true of all med schools.

Nepotism is rampant with the Humanities in Medicine program. It can't be a coincidence that plenty of children of doctors at the school get in via a program that doesn't require them to take the MCAT

Overall it is a great place to go to med school. Tune out the annoying personalities and take advantage of the multitude of world-class physicians at Sinai who actively want to help out medical students.

The School is now called "Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai". It never truly had any affiliation to NYU.
Success!
