[Law2Doc]

So quick question--
so I saw (on aamc website) that 1,000 med school seniors did not match, does that mean they have to try again next year? Are they basically screwed? I heard that after med school everyone basically matches, did i hear wrong?
Thanks😉

According to the local news media and the AAMC, this year 14,201 US med students matched out of 15,206. (Total potential residency spots available - 21,845, total match participants seeking spots 27,944). That's 93.4% of US med students matching, which is not substantially different from the 93.7% that matched last year. Folks who don't match have to "scramble", which largely means they and their administration get on the phone and try to place them into unfilled spots. They aren't per se screwed, but may not get a desirable specialty or location - they are fighting for leftovers. http://www.aamc.org/newsroom/pressrel/2007/070315.htm

well aside from the top top schools (i.e. yale, duke, etc.) the match lists don't really look all that different to me...those seem to reflect differences in the individual more

It's still the same correlation does not equal causation debate, specifically, the third variable problem: rather than a great school causing someone to land a great residency, it could be a third variable, academic ability, that underlies both.

you are correct i am sure. it's just going to a
"better" named school lets you not have to be at the top of your class to match at the competitive places. I think this should be stressed more because most people when they begin med school think they will be able to be near the top and then reality sets in.

Except that things like higher step 1 scores tend to trump brand name school, so it's not like the folks at the bottom of the good school class ranks get to coast - they are still fighting for spots. They just start with a little more in their arsenal. Some of the top schools put more people into primary care than many of the lower ranked ones. (and a lot of the folks at top schools were good test takers to begin with, so the school may have had no impact).

[ny skindoc]

do people still doubt that your school's name helps in the match?

Theres never been a doubt that going to Yale or Johns Hopkins or a small number of similar schools is going to be a big boost to any residency application.For the great majority of US med students >80%
the reputation of their school is secondary to many other variables come match day.The match lists for most US schools are simply not that different in quality or competitive specialties represented.... So if you have a chance to go to a top name by all means take it.Otherwise it wont matter much.

 

[Long Dong]

😱 😱 😱
eleven is amazing, and those programs are no joke either.

That's just how we roll.😉

But yeah I was like 😱 too.

 

[Stolenspatulas]

So, I have been told the following on a number of occasions:

(1) Med school name/prestige, if it does play a role, plays a very small role in the match - Step 1 is supposedly the great equalizer.

(2) Pritzker's students have a reputation for not performing well on Step 1.

Unless, this year's students totally rocked the Step 1, how do you reconcile these two statements with the results of the 2007 match for Pritzker? Does med school name/prestige play a bigger role than we think?

I have stated this "discrepancy" in the so-called paradigm at least 10 times. Nobody from the "Reputation is negligible/Step 1 is everything" ever comments.

Exactly. Their silence is the underlying point. Reputation matters much more than the current paradigm pushers suggest.

 

[Stolenspatulas]

Here's a tidbit to you match list over-analyzers in pre-allo...

My "unranked" school had twice as many derm and urology matches as Hopkins as well as more orthopods and gas.

In other words, these lists are meaningless.

Can we see the list?

And also you are playing with flawless logic. Its not the number of matches that count (for that depends on what the given student body is attempting to match into)... what matters more is the QUALITY of the matches. Something tells me if 15 students from Harvard were were gung-ho about matching into derm that they could probably do it (where that would be a less likely feat at a less "reputable" school).

And also you are playing with flawless logic. Its not the number of matches that count (for that depends on what the given student body is attempting to match into)... what matters more is the QUALITY of the matches.

what is QAULITY?

 

[Stolenspatulas]

what is QAULITY?

The reputation of the residency program.

Saying that a school had 15 students match into Derm is one thing... but did these students get into their first choice, into one of their top three choices?, what is the reputation of the Derm program that they matched into? etc.

 

[Dr. Will]

what is QAULITY?

Quality is determined by WHERE YOU WANT TO GO not necessarily by the program itself. 50% of my classmates, myself included, are from California. The majority wanted to end up in California instead at the most coveted programs in their respective fields. A good proportion of the people I talked to got their #1 or #2 on match day, myself included. That to me, regardless of where their program is, is a strong list and the type of list I'd want year in and year out.

FYI...we had NO derm matches this year. Why? Because no one in our class applied for Derm. Does that mean our list is weak? There are plenty of people in our class that are very competitive for positions such as this...but ultimately decided on something less competitive.

I have stated this "discrepancy" in the so-called paradigm at least 10 times. Nobody from the "Reputation is negligible/Step 1 is everything" ever comments.

Exactly. Their silence is the underlying point. Reputation matters much more than the current paradigm pushers suggest.

I think the argument from the 'Step1 matters more' faction is that students at top 10 schools would rock the Step 1 exam regardless of what school they attend, given the fact that they must have done well on the MCAT to get into said school. So the fact that JHU gets great matches may be less of an indication of JHU reputation as the simple fact that they have a class full of brilliant test takers who are going to stack up well against the rest of the country in the match.

I'm not really taking sides but I do believe that someone who is talented will get a good match regardless of what school they attend and someone who is mediocre will get a mediocre match regardless of what school they attend. For those who fall somewhere in between, I'd agree that a top 10 school would help--but then again, these people would probably have a tougher time getting into a top 10 school to begin with.

Something tells me if 15 students from Harvard were were gung-ho about matching into derm that they could probably do it (where that would be a less likely feat at a less "reputable" school).

I don't know if Critical Mass will share his list, but I've posted the list for my unranked run of the mill state school. Feel free to criticize it all you wish.

Speaking of which, it'd be nice to see more people from non-top schools share their lists, too. It looks like the representation here is skewed towards higher ranking schools.

Well what about schools such as Pritzker? They right out tell you that they have a weaker Step 1 average compared to all the top schools. Why do they match well?

I understand the argument that better test takers probably tend to go to higher-ranked schools simply by looking at average MCAT and gpa for matriculants at higher-ranked schools. But this argument faces a severe blow when you bring up examples such as Prtizker. Also, not everyone at Hopkins dominates the USMLE. Why do they match well?

Im tired of arguing this so I will stop now.

BTW, I agree completely with this:
"someone who is talented will get a good match regardless of what school they attend"

I'd like to counter that looking at match lists is not meaningless. It is ALMOST meaningless, but not quite meaningless. I have noticed that people seem to match into good fields from all schools. One thing that REALLY differs between schools is WHERE people match....in all fields.... not just the super competitive ones. So in a rough sense you can compare match lists. But keep in mind that it is a VERY rough appraisal of a school.

The location can be a total toss-up though - people who like to stay in one region (half of my private school comes from one state - the one we're in) compared to people who don't care if they move around. The way I see it, unless you're headed right for academic medicine, your residency prestige isn't that important. Go to a good school so it might help you get a good residency, but then what? I don't want to anywhere more than a few hours away from where I am right now, and you can just forget the east coast.

Exactly. A lot of people from my school stay at the school for residency, which might mean they can't match anywhere else or it might mean they want to stay in Oklahoma. Lots of people buy houses, have spouses who get good jobs, have kids in good schools, have family living nearby, etc., which makes them want to stay put.

I agree, too, that reputation of your residency isn't probably as huge of a deal as it's made out to be on SDN. If you get a derm residency anywhere, you get to be a dermatologist, and you get all the great aspects of the dermatology lifestyle. For me, I know location is going to be one of my major deciding factors and will play a greater role than reputation.

 

[45408]

you are correct i am sure. it's just going to a "better" named school lets you not have to be at the top of your class to match at the competitive places.

Are you just guessing about this?

Yeah, I agree. But you can still average out all the personal preferences when looking at a match list. It stands to reason that people at all schools have widely different preferences. You can also look at the quality of programs within a specific region. It's still a very rough measure, but it can be somewhat useful.

Would you please post a "bad" match list? I'd like to compare. Preferably from a school that is higher ranked than Pritzker.

 

[Dark Sandbars]

Does anyone have Penn's match list, by any chance?

I'm channeling Law2Doc here, but does anyone in pre-allo have the capability of judging programs based on quality. Sure, we all know Harvard sounds great, but that's about it. Actually knowing the quality of residency programs in multiple different fields would be quite a feat for anyone.

Good point-- for instance, I didn't know until recently that Cincinatti had one of the top emergency medicine programs in the country. There wasn't a Harvard in the name so I guess I didn't know 🙄 .

By the way, does anyone have the lowly Tufts match list?

 

[dpmd]

Regionalism makes a difference in the lists, both because a lot of people tend to want to stay in one place, and because programs tend to select local people to interview (with some excellent out of area applicants as well). Also, don't forget that just because a program has a "big name" doesn't mean it is a desirable location to train in every specialty. Sometimes the top program is one you never heard of until you started looking into that field. Look at the match lists if you must, but don't let that be what you base your decision on.

 

[45408]

Pffft, any pre-allo idiot knows that the residency programs strictly correlate with US News rankings of med schools.



or not. CHW is the 3rd best children's hospital in the country, but I bet almost nobody here knows that.

Yeah I'd agree that Pritzker's reputation probably helps out their students. I would bet that a 35/3.7 kind of student would probably benefit from a school like pritzker over their state school. But I also would bet that the 42/4.0 type of student is probably going to match better than the above student regardless of which school they attend.

First of all, not everyone in pre-allo is actually pre-allo. I'm a med student just as much as L2D or anyone else. Secondly, there really IS roughly a correspondence between "name value" and good residency spots. Everyone on these forums likes to cite specific examples of exceptions to things. If you read a match list the way I do [especially since I don't know what I want to do, so I'm not even looking at specific fields], you can make a very rough guestimate of a school's strength in the match. The basic assumption in all of this is that you average out all of those exceptions and all of the personal preferences that go into applying and ranking programs. Do folks put WAY too much emphasis on match lists? Absolutely. Do some people blatantly deny the truth and say that a match list tells you absolutely nothing? Absolutely.

These students aren't nearly that common. Even the top schools have an average MCAT of a 35 (except Wash U which I believe is about a 37), with the majority getting b/w a 33 and a 37. If you get a 40, you'll be able to do whatever you want with wherever you go to med school, provided you work hard. But I agree with spatulas, the avg USLME of the top schools are very comparable to other schools, so I think school name does help. Not above other variables, but I think there's more pressure to be near the top of your class if you go to an unranked school than if you go to a high ranked school.

 

[Long Dong]

Having just gone threw the residency applications and the match.

IMHO I don't think med school rankings matter much once you are outside the top 5 or so schools.

 

[morriske]

Would someone be kind enough to look at the '06 match list and let me know what they think. My husband accepted a job offer in Chicago so I am almost definitely going to RFU, unless I get off of the UIC alternate list.

Agree except I'd add that it is also going to be much easier to be near the top of your class at an unranked school than at a highly ranked school because the quality of the competition in the class isn't nearly as high at the unranked school. As you pointed out, a 35 MCAT indicates about an average type of student at a top 10 school but the same person would be one of the better students at state u.

The match lists are generally pretty strong. You have to keep in mind that many of the students, usally 50% are displaced Californians who want nothing more than to return. That's why you see many Cali programs on the list. This year's match list has not been "officially" released yet. I believe it will be posted at some point in the next week.

Trying to have someone "interpret" the match list for you is kind of a useless action. There is so much to take into account such as geographical preference, specialty preference, that you wouldn't really understand unless you were a part of the class itself.

I was hoping a current RFU student might reply. I'm sort of a displaced New Yorker so I might end up back in the NYC after med school. Does everyone usually match out of RFU or do some people end up doing that "scramble" thing?

In an ideal world I would like to place into a good Internal Medicine program in NYC or Chicago but we'll see how things go.

It's no different than any other year. The majority 95% or so match, and a few have to scramble. Our match list this year has plenty of people matching in IM in both Chicago or NY. The majority of people I talked to got their #1 or #2 choice. I wouldn't really worry about the match list at this point in time. Focus on working hard over the next few years. Continue to work hard and put all you can into your education, and you will have many opportunities to match well.

That's true, although I think everyone in med school is intelligent and capabe. I find it funny sometimes that people come on SDN and ask "would it be better to be avg at a top school or top in your class at an unranked school?", as if it were easy anywhere to be tops in your class. There are going to be those 35+ people no matter where you go, not to mention people who are going to spend their every waking hour studying (not something I do nor want to do).
