Anyone out there knows if programs that rank an applicant high enough to match, but not vice versa, would find out where the applicant matched after Match Day?
I know this is sort of a left field question, since I see reassurances all over the place to anxious applicants that their rank list is confidential and programs have no idea, etc. etc., but I'm not sure if the rank list confidentiality is still maintained after Match Day? I ranked programs based on location, and ended up at my first choice location... but there are a couple of programs on my list that are "better" by academia's standards. I'm working on a research project at one of these, and have gotten a few oddball comments here and there after Match Day that made me wonder if they are taken aback that I ranked a place supposedly "less academically rigorous" than their program. Or I could just be paranoid, but it's good to have external validation... Thanks everyone!
