i don't believe all of them are bad...what about Rochester gen hosp? it's more than ok and I'm sure you can find more; just check each of them

  #6

maybe theey R not as competitive as elsewhere in USA, due to bad life style(better than my home country anyway) & due to having highly expensive costs..

my prof was telling me that SUNNY broklin is excellent program, he met there the prof who got Nobel prize after invention of CT

with all due respect: nyc is so cool, but how on earth is one supposed to pay rent on a resident's salary? unless y'all planning to live in the suburbs, in which case the commute can be sad... on the up side - minimal driving which would suit me fine especially after a night on the ward...
ahh...life...

I agree with dev, but that's just my opinion!

A.


  #11

My opinion too, you cant pick and choose. I prefer to choose and pick.

i've applied to a lot of programs in ny. some of them i heard are bad, but others i heard were good. i was told that ny is an img friendly state that is why i applied. u can't really pick and choose.

  #13

people, all i am saying is that you have to be aware of what nyc is really like...hello, if i will not be afford rent, then you know what? i am so picking and choosing!!!

  #16

NY programs are as bad as you can only imagine.

None of them called me for an interview ;-)



Seriously, I don't think there is a huge difference between States

Just want to add something...



New York is the greatest city of the world. It is like a prostitute, you love it, and you hate it; once you will taste it, you will alwayz come back...

Good luck with your residency..
