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...

as someone who's been living in NYC for quite a few years now and after reading many cliches on this thread, I think bliz has the most realistic view of what living in NYC is like

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..
