Results for the Match are Live!
Just received an email.
Just received an email.
My wife matched as well! Congratulations to all of you! Btw, what is the next step? Wait to hear back from the hospital?
Matched! I've already heard of quite a few folks that did not match this year. Looks like competition was pretty stiff
Didn't match. Only applied to 2 programs. Bummer. Don't want to scramble, but will take a look.
Congrats everyone!
Is the scramble list available now because I cannot have accsess to it??
I withdrew from the match, but I was just wondering if I can have any chance with the scramble!! I will not be able to get my license within the first few months from the start of the program. Can any program accept that?? Any advice??
Matched!
I did the math, and if you include the applicants who withdrew because of not getting any interviews, only 58% of applicants matched this year. That's really rough.
well, I personally wouldn't count those that withdrew, since they did not go into the match algorithm.
PGY-1 Applicant matched: 2268
PGY-1 Applicant not matched: 1438
So that's a 61.2% match rate, which is similar to my year, 2010 at 61.8%. What is worse is the 9.9 to 1 unmatched to scramble slot ratio, as to 7.4 to 1 back in 2010. I'll do some basic stats and post it later.
Well it does allow you to differentiate that these people withdrew because they did not receive any interviews, and thus, seems applicable to me IMO
I can see your point, the question is how do you differentiate those that withdrew because they didn't get interviews vs. didn't interviews or rank for other reasons? It would be introducing a variable that we don't know the answer to.
I took the number that withdrew and multiplied it by the percentage that withdrew based on not getting an interview (specified in match results), and added it to the amount that entered the match but did not match.
I'm just surprised about some of the positions that are listed. A good amount of VAs near the east coast. What happened there?
I interviewed at one of the unmatched ones, and I can see why it is unmatched (not going to elaborate). Others may be similar.
Can I DM you for info about this? I was trying to scramble and contact one of the unmatched sites earlier and I don't want to get stuck at a miserable program.
And in other news, how the hell did ________ not match 5 of their 6 spots? Match people log in and look, I don't think i can disclose the program on here (not that I would usually care).
We're in the scramble as a site and while I'd rather be on this side than the candidates' side, this is no picnic either. We've interviewed some really great candidates so far. Only about 40 more CVs to wade through, which to be honest, ain't gonna happen. I'll put together some scramble recommendations from the site perspective when this is all over.
How great would it be if we had a 95% match rate like the med students?
Wow those match rates are depressing. Are there any advocacy groups out there for more stringent accreditation standards (I am envisioning something like this but perhaps not as drastic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexner_Report#Closure_of_many_medical_schools) until we get more funding for residencies?
I feel like the rates are going to keep declining.
