2018 Match List

Official PCOM PA and GA match lists posted:

Match List | Student Affairs at PCOM

One of the most impressive matches on our list -- UPMC for IM (the main location).

 

Impressive ACGME radonc matches!

 

One of the two ppl that matched it was a crazy good applicant. Very high scores, publications, SUPER nice guy. A good example of a person who didn't let him being a DO hold him back from what he wanted to do.

 

Hopefully not this guy

So I matched...and I need to know how to get out of it.

 

They will release the official list sometime this month. I will update my post once I have the info

 

For sure was lol

 

Definitely not my guy. The person I’m speaking of is the person that matched into Rutgers. On top of his stellar application, he had personal reasons for choosing Rad Onc and would not have wanted any other specialty. Doesn’t regret it one bit.

It could be the San Antonio person though? I also heard that only 3 DO’s matched Rad Onc this year, and can’t imagine it would be the Jeff match from LECOM regretting it

 

If you read that thread, it’s the person who has a classmate who have got into radonc....

 

Sometimes I wonder if some DO schools care so little about them that they just post up the excel doc from the google drive whenever everybody has filled it in. Like with no verification whatsoever.

 

probably lol never doubt the incompetency of your local DO school
everything we accomplish is of our own accord--even match lists

 

Well that’s not how ATSU does it. They sent us a document with name, match, and NRMP/AOA.

 

Is that before or after the google doc was filled out?

 

Thank you!

 

I loved that someone matched OMT at pcom, making AT still proud

 

LOL

 

There is always that one person...

 

...who is bat**** crazy?

 

We do our own google doc as a class for fun starting at the AOA match, it is not mandatory, and only about 40 people filled out our google drive doc this year. Our schools (SOMAs) match list was sent to us via email on a non-editable official document that listed what I stated above for every applicant in our class (108 students).

The administration publishes a full list in conjunction with ATSU-KCOM that comes out in late April.

Not sure why you are being naive and picking a fight about this, if you don’t go there then you obviously have no understanding of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on.

And yes, I know the formatting sucks

 

What does, “pre-lim neurosurgery/Gen surg” even mean....

 

Lol no idea I just copy pasted and reformatted

 

IM at THE Univ of Chicago?

 

Almost 100% assuredly is Northshore.

 

Also a mindblowing UCSF match for pathology too

 

Can someone post KCU's list (or at least, noteworthy matches)? I've tried like twice to get into the FB group but keep getting rejected....

Edit: Never mind someone added me!

 

It’s a great match, but UCSF has been taking DO’s for at least the past 3 years. One of my SOMA classmates from 2015 matched there. She may have been the first.

 

TIL. I knew UCSF Fresno took DOs but I never knew the OG accepted them too

 

Yep, my classmate is at the SF main campus.

 

UCSF and Stanford pathology both took DOs. I think last year this field match 35% American grads if memory serves.

 

Anyone have a list of WVSOM's match, by any chance?! I've been checking their site at least 8 times/day for the past few weeks, and still nothing =(

 

probs best to find a different hobby for now..

 

They won’t post it. You have to email them and ask for it.

 

Right on!

 

We've had students go into psych and OB at UCSF main campus from my school

 

How long till the nrmp puts the complete charting out?

 

This is the document I really want to see.

 

You mean one that actually has USMLE scores and more complete info lol? I won't hold my breath.

 

alright thats what i was looking for lol thank you

 

Agreed. Too many politics involved.

DO pointless outcomes 2.0

 

Honestly, it's worse than useless. It was actively bad to publish the last one with that incomplete info. It paints a misleading picture by not including the absolutely undebatably most important aspect of an application (particularly DO). There is so much to glean from the added perspective. General surgery match statistics are a great example of this. If the numbers are 60% or whatever but most of those people had no USMLE or mediocre scores I'm not exactly surprised as they got typical bad DO advising. If most of these dudes are getting 240 and still not matching we have something to talK about.

 

Yep. Almost every single person I know that applied to GS with above a 230 matched, whether they were someone in real life or someone I reached out to on SDN. There was one exception. I agree the last Outcomes published was worthless. I was really hoping they would throw Step scores on there this time but I think you're right and that they won't. Aggravating.

 

i dont think they will throw step scores on there until the class of 2020. Many people in my class choose to no take it because of the AOA myths that they believe about comlex= usmle . The class of 2019 is the last year we will have the aoa match and i think its the last year they wont publish step scores for DO matching applicants

 

Since Step scores aren't being posted, what the best way to interpret the report? Just disregard and aim for numbers higher than the MD one?

 

i suppose you could go through that path. the Frieda system is flawed so i wouldn't use that . next best idea is stick with old AOAs that have been given initial accreditation into the acgme and stick with comlex score standards for the specialty

 

How is Frieda flawed? Clueless incoming student here.

 

It is not updated and has many inaccuracies. All you can do is apply to programs you know aren't anti-do either via the grapevine or good old residency roster creeping. The key is to have better scores than your MD competitors.

 

And/or audition rotations, which never get stressed on importance on SDN.

 

In the DO world audition are huge but as we start in this brave new ACGME only match things will change. 1. According to a few program directors at my hospital, audition rotation at OLD AOAs are still king. Nothing says i want to come here like spending a month rotating through when they know realistically you can only go to 4 auditions at most. So if you wanna match at a certain place thats an old AOA, audition there. 2. Apply broadly. 3. Aoa directors used to be able to give you "good feedback" and let you know you had a spot at the program in the past, now with the whole initial accreditation they don't want to risk it so they won't do that anymore. 4. looking at residency rosters > beats frieda stats. This has been told to be by multiple people in this years match and in the past. Just because there is 1 do in the program, doesnt mean they are DO friendly. Look for a trend 1-2 a year is a good sign.

 

It's commonly cited as generally not advisable unless you meet a few specific scenarios and specific fields.
