Match notification question

[hawkeyealum]

Next Monday when they inform applicants whether or not they matched, do they inform you if you matched to an advanced program and a prelim program or will they just say that you matched? I'm guessing the latter unless of course you match to an advanced program but not a prelim program.

Yeah, you'll only know if you matched. No difference between Advanced+Prelim or Categorical.

You should know if you partially matched (i.e., advanced but no PGY-1) if I correctly understand the recent NRMP email I received. Then you will be SOAP eligible for PGY-1 unfilled positions.

Yes, you will know if you matched "partially" on Monday. In my case, I didn't apply to prelim programs as I had an out of match intern year at my home program available to me if I matched advanced. My top program was advanced so I knew I had a decent chance of needing the transition year at my home program, the rest of my ROL was mostly categorical.

On the match Monday, I received an email stating I had "matched into an advanced program but not a PGY1 year." I replied to the NRMP asking if they'd let me know the region I matched into for intern year planning purposes. They replied a few minutes later with the actual city of my program which made it obvious that I had matched to my top program. A quick call to my home PD and they sent the intern contract in the mail. Fortunately I didn't have to do a real scramble.
