Didn't you interview with these programs? What's your top choice? What place don't you want to go to?? Start from there and keep looking at your list.

write them in a random order and then close your eyes and pin the tail on the program

compare their fellowship matching rates, how many are going to fellowships on every program, how many go to cardiology, how's the cardiology department faculty .... that would give you a better idea...

Hi there, I can only comment on UoI. I'm not actually applying to IM (I'm a peds applicant) but I have a close friend doing IM at Indy, and she's totally happy with her program. I do think, however, that you might end up getting an excellent training on several of your choices. The fellowship placement on many of those programs should be very good, maybe a closer look at the faculty, the cardiology staff, publications and such. Good luck!

Thank you very much guys(preuba, cargue, moozy) for your feedback. Moozy, yes obviously it will depend on who will rank me high. I am now clear about Indiana. But U of L, Oklahoma, even SUNY Donstate is confusing. Anyways thanks very much guys and any more opinions are welcome.
