First I am sorry you did not match. This year was the most competitive year for med-peds in 10 years.
"Safety Programs"? It really does not exist and this year's match result supports that. Programs that may be on the bottom of your list and you consider a safety program are on the top of other peoples list. Similarly when programs make rank lists they rank candidates entirely differently from each other. We had applicants near the top of our list that did not match anywhere and yet our last ranked candidate matched into a good program. There are no safety programs. Only programs you like and programs you don't like.
