This is a FASCINATING collection of data. It has extensive data on USMLE scores for matched and unmatched applicants for all NRMP specialties. For GS, (and every other specialty) there's a remarkable correlation between matching at Step I score

Unmatched US Seniors in GenSurg by Step 1 Score

180-189 46% unmatched
190-199 33% unmatched
200-209 23% unmatched
210-219 14% unmatched
220-229 11% unmatched
230+ 1% unmatched

Looks like 230 was the magic number this year.

There are also some indirect data about matching with regard to rank list length. I'll post this later.

This data is the relation of contiguous rank list length to success in matching. Contiguous rank list length is the number of GS programs in a row on your list. "Success" is defined as matching into any GS program. So if you matched to IM after ranking 5 GS and 5 IM programs alternating 1 GS and 1 IM, you would have a CRLL of 1 and would count as not-matching. If you only ranked 4 programs, all GS, and didn't match your CRLL would be 4 and you would count as not matching.

US Senior Unmatched Rate in GenSurg by Contiguous Rank List Length

1-2 62%
3-4 41%
5-6 44%
7-8 18%
9-10 13%
11-12 6%
13-14 4%
15+ 5%

Take home message here seems to be that adding programs to your rank list is very valuable up until 11-12 after which you abruptly hit diminishing returns.

I couldn't get the link to work. For others with similar problems, go to http://www.uicomp.uic.edu and enter "Charting Outcomes in the Match" in the search box.

It was broken for me, too. Thanks for the tip, Blue Rover.
