I was just looking through the APMA site and saw this: ( Unmatched Students Seeking Residencies, Fellowships | News | APMA Working for You | APMA )
Those 4 students were not placed in a residency during this year's match (out of the other 50 or so). But, what's even more shocking (to me) is the dude in number 4, Issa. Look at his CV! And, I'm here thinking why..how..how come he didn't match? One possible reason might be that he didn't apply to enough places or only applied to "top/ivy league" type..but who knows!
"My name is Magdy Issa, MB., ChB., MS, and I am an unmatched 2017 graduate from Midwestern University Arizona School of Podiatric Medicine. I am seeking a preceptor position or a position in the foot and ankle industry to enhance my podiatry learning experience. I have a strong teaching background, participated in research, have held leadership positions, and received many scholarships. Despite having to work part time (and sometimes full time) while in podiatry school, I was able to obtain a 3.81 GPA and rank fifth in my class. I am a motivated and caring person, and I work hard to achieve my goals"
