rank order list

Hey everyone, I’m finalizing my rank list for the Independent IR match and would really appreciate some input from current fellows and attendings regarding how to stratify these programs. I want to graduate as a competent IR clinician (most important to me) and well-rounded operator. My...

Was hoping to get people's thoughts on this rank list. I am trying to balance name brand of associated hospital (will this help with job prospects or opening up my own practice someday?) with the strength of the IR program. The exception is MCVI, which I don't think has much name recognition...

Hello everyone - long time lurker on SDN since my pre-med days, but I feel like I'm at the point where I would really appreciate some additional input from kind strangers on the internet, and help me escape the cycle of insanity that is making a rank order list. For background, I live in New...

Hello! First time posting so please bear with me. Applying anesthesia. Just like other fourth-years, I'm trying to finalize my rank list. I feel like it's set overall, but still having difficulty choosing between top 2, and deciding the order of 3-5. Important to me is proximity to...

Hi! I feel very thankful for the awesome places I've been able to interview at and have been struggling with ranking. Obviously there's so much to think about, but if any of you have program recommendations or strong opinions about going to/avoiding a program, please please share! I'm looking...

Hi all, obviously down to the wire here and I'm trying to turn over every stone I can. I am pretty solid on my rank list but agonizing over my top 3: Georgetown, Jefferson, and Umass. I know they are all good programs, but I'm trying to figure out as much as I can about their...

Yale New Haven Track Yale Solnit Track NYP Columbia-Cornell CHA BCH NYU Tuft University of Michigan I have been having a hard time deciding which one to put first between Yale, and NYP Columbia-Cornell. Felt really good vibes from both programs. I also had a really good experience with CHA...

Hi everyone! I'm an MS4 applying to anesthesia programs and had a question about how the rank list works. I've heard TY and prelim years are getting more and more competitive. So my question is, if I match into an advanced spot but fail to match into a PGY1 spot, will my rank list just move...

Hi guys, Need help ranking 3 programs. I had some red flags so I’m grateful I even have 3 to rank lol. That said, it’s hard. The programs are: 1. SUNY upstate 2. Rutgers 3. UT Houston I enjoyed all 3 interviews some more than others. Does anyone have any info on Rutgers? It’s hard to find...

Hey everybody! I saw this post last year as a way to calm the nerves (i suppose) of applicants and thought it would be interesting to see some updated results. Again, this is all in 'good' fun so please take the poll with a grain of salt! Edit: So far so good!

Hey SDN, I am a MS4 who is really struggling to make my rank order list. I have a lot of great options but an paralyzed by indecision. Most of my programs I enjoy pretty equally, except for a few minor blips. To be honest, almost every program I interviewed at was pretty similar IMO. Anyone with...

Hey, everyone! It's that time; time for the constant anxiety and intermittent nightmares about our rank lists. Everyone is going to generate this list completely differently, but I think we can all agree that, like patient care, it's an assessment that can be made only after consideration and...

Per SDN tradition, here is this year's Rank Order List (ROL) thread. There are a number of ways in which you may participate: By using your SDN account and directly replying to this thread By using your SDN account to private message (PM) @surely . Your ROL will be posted anonymously. By using...

I've been meaning to post this for a year or so, but here it goes. One thing matters when you rank your options. One thing above all else. You'll encounter a lot of advice and methodology for ranking programs; people will record sedations, talk about osteotomy numbers, talk about their areas of...

The only reason I am asking this is because I am currently on rotation at one of the programs I interviewed with. And just to make this clear: I have absolutely no intention of slacking after the deadline passes. I am aware of the advice to treat all rotations "like an interview" and I have...

Looking for some input for ranking the programs below. Context is me being interested in academics and research as well as a fan of outdoors/nature. Alphabetically: NYU, Stanford, UCSD, UPMC, UTSW, U. Utah, Vanderbilt

I'm a US Citizen, no visa issues, location is not important. Below is a tentative list but please give your input. If I match in IM I plan to do a cardiology or allergy/immunology fellowship. If I match in FM I plan to do a sports medicine or ER fellowship. 1) UPMC Hamot - Emergency Medicine...

Hi! Since it's time to start finalizing my match list I wanted to kick things off with mine and let you all critique or give me ideas. In order: 1.) University of Pennsylvania: + Very complete program w/ freestanding peds hospital. Quite close to my home with ease of access, -Work their...

Hey guys! I'm starting to make my ROL and I am having trouble ranking these hospitals. My interest after residency is cardiology or Heme/Onc, so fellowship placement and research are important factors. Since I am an IMG I am unsure about a program's "reputation" (how strong is it, the name...

I got into a discussion about this today. Does the order of your rank order list influence your probability of overall matching vs not matching. I'm talking about a list with all the same programs and therefore number of programs. Does the order you put your programs in affect your chances of...

Hi forum, It's just a few weeks from matching and stress is setting in hard. I'm at a mid-tier US Allopathic med school with below average step scores (210 step 1, 222 step 2) and mostly Bs on my transcript. I took an extra year in school because of a very legitimate health reason (not psych). I...

Hi. I just wanted to how ranking multiple specialties would affect my probability of matching. For example, if I have 7 IM programs, 3 Peds programs and 1 Psych program on my rank order list, will it decrease my chance of matching at any of these places as opposed to having 10 IM programs on my...

Hi. I am an IMG with average credentials. I was just wondering if my chance of matching would depend on the order in which I ranked programs. For example, if I rank great programs at the top and mediocre programs at the bottom, would it decrease my chance of matching (matching in general, not...
