why ppl are so interested in cardio and GI at the same time?... looks like what they really want is money... no offense. So in that case rank the ones that have better fellowship match rates in GI and Cardio and the one that has more residents doing research. That is what I think

Good luck!

I personally did GI in my home country where a Dr's salary was less than 40 dollars a month, so money was not my drive. Cardio was always one of my passions during medical school so if I'm starting from the bottom again why not give it a chance...
Also, I'm pretty sure financial stability is one of the final goals of every single person in this forum, you included.
Have a successful match!

@march2018, If you had any idea about the current state of primary care you won't make such a statement. As Alezam13 said we all have our reasons for pursuing medicine but I believe financial stability is one of them. Sub-specialties provides doctors with a better quality of life and less stress as you will endure in primary care.

ok guys, fair enough.

Obviously everybody in the world wants financial stability, who doesn't?
I am not saying that you need to like primary care... I am just saying that it is weird that ppl are interested in cardio and GI at the same time. If somebody would say I want cardio ok, or I want GI, I totally get it, but when I see both of them combined make me think that maybe the final goal is more financial gain wt medicine than real passion for being a doctor and help pts, but it is just my point of view, I guess I am more in the philosophy side in life lol.
Everybody has their own goals, and if financial stability is yours, that is good enough. Just was curious...

Good luck and sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

rajkrish thanks for the input. I'm a bit indecisive between Jacobi and Texas Tech, the firsr has an old reputation but living in the Bronx does not sound good to me... Either way, I still have some time to sleep on it..thanks again
