The number of Ortho spots is very impressive hopefully those AOA spots will remain DO friendly in the coming years
Yeah. Same thing happened with the two Derm matches.

Just responding to your previous post about not having the information about people who went unmatched. No need to get snippy.

Guys wait like 2 weeks. The schools will put out the results. I’m sure they still have some students who didn’t get a spot in the soap And are waiting for the students to see if they can get anything. Nobody wants to put out a mass list that says less than 95% placement

Just to clarify for those following, the match list usually doesn't have the percentage placed. If their like my school they won't release placement data till next fall. What we should see in a couple weeks is the schools claiming 100 or 99% placed. Those kind of articles usually come out end of march.

Just on the basis of the number of uber-specialties matched into, this is far more impressive than a certain for-profit US MD school. I'll leave it to the experts as to what is a "good" residency.

Which is why I always said that Campbell was one of the better DO schools out there that will guarantee you a placement at graduation. They're so consistent, they've been having 100% placement rate every year from the very first class they graduated. Mandatory attendance or not, and dress code or not, that was one school, besides KCU, I was hoping I got into last year, but unfortunately they both eventually rejected me post interview
. I remember when people used to say opening up CUSOM was just another bad decision from the AOA, but so far the school has been proving people wrong. I can say the same thing for ACOM. Here's to hoping that my school does the same thing in a couple years.

The Gestalt I am getting is that more DO Students are matching into Uber residenciesoh, or rather, more competitive specialties

I think it’s safe to say that this year the quality of matches really stands out (at least compared to past few years). Seeing a larger volume of competitive specialties than usual. Not necessarily top programs but DOs are still pretty regularly able to get out of the PC bubble regardless if the school is new or old. The only thing that would secure any reissurance is final placement data. If it’s significantly low we need to worry but if it’s in the 97%+ range that’s probably much better than what anybody anticipated.

That's all blatantly false. Do you guys have any idea how much time some SDN users have spent telling everyone it's 100% doom and gloom from now on and ever for DOs? Clearly they're the ones to listen to. /s

Good students will always match. The worry is those who aren’t as strong. Before they had AOA fm in bfe... now some of that safety net may not be there.... side note a class mate matched Neuro surg ayyyyeee

They'll still have FM in bfe unless they truly mess up bad. And in that case that's more on them than the system. Most places would rather a DO than an IMG

Can only speak for KCU but the ones that didn’t match were the strong applicant but were applying to very competitive specialties. Ortho, gen surg, derm, Ob gyn (specialties applied for that didn’t match at KCU). They weren’t bottom students. It’s more complicated than that. I think it’s about strategy. I know a KCU grad who barely passed comlex and matched at a respectable academic FM program and got nearly 20 interviews. If you’re a weak DO student you can still match if you focus on weak programs. It’s when people start applying where they had no business based on their stats or to hypercompetive specialties where people get in trouble.

I suppose so. This year was just shock . We had someone match ortho with very low comlex scores so anything is possible
I suppose . It’s like watching the march madness. Shock after shock.

Barrow is a very prestigious neuroSURGERY program. For neurology, I would say it's mid-tier at best.
The neuro match at University of Washington is much, much more impressive.
Still, it's a big accomplishment for a DO to match neuro at Barrow.

I have never seen ob/gyn listed amongst these 'competitive' specialities. Are you basing this on # of positions?

Well, I had multiple MCATs, and English is my second language. Those may or may not have factored in, but I was waitlisted at KCU before getting rejected at the very end of the cycle though. CUSOM straight up rejected me lol.

Charting outcomes. DOs match rate of 61.3 for OB Gyn. Almost as low as surgery. It’s considered middle of the road in general competitiveness but is not very DO friendly.

It’s not a competitive specialty to MDs but for DOs it’s getting there. Kinda like GS is considered competitive for DOs but not MDs

Yeah but even relatively speaking it has one of the lower match rates for MDs at 87%. That’s the same for Neurosurg and close to plastics.
Wait, neurosurg and plastics have ~87% match if you are USMD? Wow that is impressive lol

If you're trying to determine specialty competitiveness, you can't just look at match rates. You also have to look at applicant quality. There's a 15-point gap in average Step 1 scores between successful MD OB/GYN applicants and successful MD neurosurgery applicants. Self-selection is a key factor; people who don't have a good shot at a super-competitive specialty generally don't bother applying to it in the first place, and that causes an increased match rate for the specialty.
