I know this is hardly statistically significant but I was interested to see that there were 11 spots available for last year's scramble in psychiatry as opposed to the 16 for this year.
Anybody know where they are?
Its just a regional spread so far. Also, last year, i think only 3 spots out of 11 were "real spots". So those 16 could be very deceiving.

I don't think the 5 is statistically significant. Most likely, things are about the same as last year.
I know about 1 program in Oklahoma - Griffin Hospital. This is a small community program with kinda ...... reputation. Last year they didn't participate in the Match, all spots were gone for pre-matches. This year they got around 10 applications from US Grads (a lot!), mostly from OU Grads. They gave 1 pre-match, 4 spots went through the Match. Result= 1 unfilled position.
Apparently they claim they're not accepting applications now from people who didn't apply before the match. I know they're normally on the unfilled list and weren't last year, but taking all pre-matches explains that I guess.
It was mentioned here earlier that U of Cincinnati has or at least had a spot, and I heard Gainesville has 2 spots.
