r those the only 2 that you are ranking? i have much to say about kingsbrook. none of it favorable

Maybe I'm wrong but didn't Kingsbrook fail to fill last year? I didn't consider either program but I havn't heard too many positive things about either program.

This is true. If I recall correctly, they only filled 2 out of 4 spots. Kinda like there boards pass rate....only 2 out of 4 pass. They are still "eagerly" looking for people to fill those spots...or at least that is what they told me when I interviewed with them this year (outside of the match). I found this really interesting considering how the interview day went horribly wrong (including them forgetting I was even coming)!!! But in all honesty, the program has everything wrong with it that one could possibly imagine. Even though I was looking for an open PGY2 spot this year, I had a hard time seeing myself at a program like that.
