Whatd they say that was bullshit?
I did a sub-i at Sinai and would strangle myself if I match there. What I heard from friends who went for an interview there was completely opposite to my sub-i experience (they interview you during your rotation there). The chair doesn't get along with faculty or residents. A lot of intradepartmental issues and conflicts on faculty level (they trash each other!). The operative experience blows on top of freakishly long turnout between cases and horrible scheduling. Program leadership is not interested in educating residents and some residents were open and sad about it. They tell you about the multi-million trials and research opportunities but I found out that those funds were actually for regulatory and none of residents was involved. It's not an "up and coming" as they claim and will never be under the current leadership. Surprisingly, I was asked in almost every interview if mount sinai has a residency program and why I didn't consider other NYC programs!! Lastly east harlem is filthy and you will have miserable seven years there or nyc in general. I really regret going there and wasting a month. Probably I should have posted this earlier and sorry if you were deceived in the interview, but if you can thrive there then good for you.
Far and away my biggest gripe with this post is that you think Mt. Sinai is East Harlem. New York is clearly not for you, buddy.
You can lie to your applicants, but you can NOT change facts. I am concerned now that a Mt Sinai insider doesn't know his instiution location. Homework: know the difference between East Harlem and Upper East Side.
