Hey everyone,

I realize every specialty is different, but I thought it would be interesting to see how many people matched into their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...

I hope you all got your top picks!

BTW, thats much different than the number usually quoted, I think be Iserson of "96% of American MD grads get one of their top three choices"

Really? I've always heard that percentage was around 80-85%, which is just about where it was...
