The day I skipped the AOA match (with a supposed 'ranked to match') and sweated out the ACGME match was the longest period of my life. My nails still haven't grown back in right.

Congrats EM!

Hey man, I couldn't tell by your previous posts which place in PA you wanted to go to. I think you an I interviewed at about the same places. I got my top choice as well over in NJ (40 minutes away from my house in Philly so that means I don't have to move ).

That sounds intense. I'm still confused by this 'ranked to match' promise they still do. I had a residency director from MSUCOM explain it to me once, but I still don't really get it. Could you possibly clarify?

Sure. Say there are 12 spots in the residency you are interested in. If you are ranked by the residency #1 - 12, and you ranked them #1, you are guaranteed a spot there, since they will take those first twelve people if they also ranked the program #1.

I hear that in the ACGME world, that statement can't be taken too seriously, but in the AOA world, it still can. But I don't know if that still holds true.

Congrats to you too! Likely we did run into each other, but not trying to give away identity here (not many residents = easy for them to figure out who).

It still holds true from what I've seen (myself and friends).

 

[Greenbbs]

it definitely still holds true in the DO world.

 

[xavier2000]

Can anyone comment why UMDNJ/Stratford had two spots empty - seems a bit odd to me.

Well, that's one throwback that I'm glad to see still hold true in the DO world.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. So is this a pseudo-official agreement? Do you sign anything when they tell you this?

They are reserved for transitional year, at least thats what my roommate told me, who heard it directly from the director during his interview there.

 

[Cerberus]

The DO match, Cerb

Ah, well congrats then (wtf can't Allo programs match this early)

 

[Greenbbs]

Nothing is signed. It's all verbal, which in itself can be worrysome.

But, if someone's an outstanding candidate, who isn't bull****ting you when they say they're ranking you #1, and you want them bad enough, you'll rank em to match.

 

[EM2BE]

hahaha...that would be nice for them to both be this early and together. Then you could actually couples match into both. This prevented a couples match for me. Still waiting for the SO to match next month

Alright, good to know. I honestly wouldn't want to bank on a verbal agreement but I guess it would depend on the situation and the location.

Question, has anyone been contacted by a program and been told that they will be ranked to match?? just wondering....

Contacted by several programs who told me they were going to rank me "high." I don't think they are allowed to give out a number or guarantee that you will match.

They are allowed to volunteer whatever information they want, but neither party can inquire as to where they will be ranked.

Doesn't mean anything. 3 people in my class were "ranked to match" at the same #1 choice and all wound up in other programs.
