2011 rank these schools thread

I think you've answered your own question here. The reason that it doesn't have a "better rep" is because of the academia bias. Academic reputation tends, rightly or wrongly, to be projected onto residency training - even though I would argue that they are two entirely separate entities. There are plenty of residency training programs that are underrated (Florida included) because the institution isn't considered as "academic". The converse also holds.

And, it's in Gainesville.

Can anyone give some insight into these programs, please?

NYU vs. U of Chicago

and

Oklahoma vs. Baylor

I am interested in surgical retina, and would prefer to live in NYC over Chicago.

Thanks!!

IMO, OK and Baylor are both considerably stronger programs than NYU and Chicago.

I hear UMDNJ is strong but a bit harsh. Not as bad as NYEE or some of the other NY programs though. GW has more of a private practice feel.

Ha ha. Living in Gainesville is actually appealing to me.

Well, it ain't Gary, IN. It's got that going for it.

OK is the bomb-crazy surg # Baylor has a good rep though

Update. Case western is no longer on probation and is accredited for 3 years. I don't know what max is

 

[taco bell]

max is 5 years, I believe. Good for Case Western -- Happy to see them doing well. Would have loved an interview invite from them last year though
