Thanks alot apruva & Dev. I have good call No but u know match is very unpredictable.According to my observation on interview date Westchester did 'nt give me University like feeling.I wanna know why UMDNJ is low on list & why westchester is better than Stony & downstate.If u have any idea about remaining Community program,I need ur feedback.Thanks a lot for ur time & favour

  #11

agreed with ngt and amirhossein.

newark is lower down bcoz of the umdnj scandal althoh they have mentioned it will not affect the residency program - i wudnt take the risk if u have the other solid options..

westchester is high bcoz of the fship scenario. i think they have the best fship to resident ratio amongst the programs. but suny downstate rocks too - and u wudnt go wrong with either one of them. how i wish conrad had looked my way... sad thats one rockstar program too..

hi dev - doin good. submitted rol. now waiting game begins. actually liked iviewing much more than this. kinda empty feeling. like the crash after the adrenaline rush..

wassup ngtwink man how i want to know where u land up buddy.

hey amir - i didnt hear back anything from seton hall and cosad

what UMDNJ scandal?

  #16

it was about billing. they were found to have screwed medicare out of millions and a few indian cardiologists were involved. caused a big uproar and change in the top people. met a very senior manager of newark who was an md mba who applied for a residency and iviewed with me at a couple of programs and he told me some stuff too. he himself wasnt plannin to stay on at newark and was lookin elsewhere..

Thanks alot Apruva,I m very grateful to u.One more Q,how would u compare b/w Westchester & Stony brook?

  #18

hey guys I want to emphasize the reason this is called match it is because the program and applicant have to fit with each other. the best program for one might be the worst for applicant. it depends if you are looking for felloship, what type, if they have research, etc. I think this can not be emphasized enough.

apurva, I apreciate you have always had kind and encouraging words. I did my best.

let's see what happens.

best,

ngt.
