If you get into Harvard, you go to Harvard. These posters are JEALOUS. MGH is a tertiary care center and gets complex cases for literally all over the world. I guess autonomy is not quite the level of shit-tier community programs, but everything else is TOP-tier. You work with the best and brightest and will see a good number of well-heeled patients from McKinsey, Goldman or the plethora of IB or PE and consulting firms in the region. MIT, HLS and MBS and MHS grads all go to MGH, FACT.
THESE POSTERS ARE JEALOUS LOSERS. FACT

Only one of those programs is remotely a "powerhouse"
... only one of them is not a powerhouse. And even that one kind of is. And the other two clearly are.

Have fun watching your attending close.

Pretty sure this is satire.
In any case your choice of residency should reflect your goals. You’re going to have more autonomy doing way more TLIFs, ACDFs, microdiscs, trauma spines and hemicranis at a trauma heavy, less academic program. That will make you a better community and private practice neurosurgeon. However, you’ll see and do more big skull base whacks, temporal lobectomies, insular gliomas, open vascular cases, and primary spinal tumors at a fancy academic program with fancy attendings that specialize in these areas. You’ll come out better at those than the community neurosurgeon. You may not even have to do a fellowship.
These are two different career paths and you have to decide what you want. Neither is better or worse, despite what salty ppl on this site would have you think. There are also many attendings who are exceptions to this and you can always do fellowships. Go where you get in and work hard

You are either directly linked to these programs and astroturfing or your info is >10 years out of date and you don't realize it. Not trying to disparage UW/USC, they are still perfectly fine places to train, but pretending like they aren't significantly diminished is disingenuous.

UW was arguably the best program in the country in the 90s, still a top 3-5 program. USC still top 10.

Yea I don’t see anything wrong with the above statement, maybe shifted around the top 10 but, to this day, remain in the top 10.
UW is great, but I can think of 10+ programs that all have better training than it without trying. One of those 10+ is USC.

Let’s hear it!
Agreed. Some of you constantly throw out “I know 10 programs better…” bla bla. Well educate us. Name these indisputable 10 powerhouses.
