SOAP spots look about the same as last year. Fears that all programs were interviewing the top candidates and people were hoarding spots seem unfounded, at least as far as the match data goes. The number of open spots in Derm + ortho + Vasc + plastics + thoracic = 1. IM and FM look very similar to last year.

Looks like Ortho has 2 spots in the SOAP, last year there were 4. Not sure if this counts the program that is filling completely through the SOAP as they got accred. late

So just a bit of neuroticism here, but I put my TY years at the bottom of my main ROL just in case I didn’t match any advanced rads programs.

If I only matched a TY at the bottom of my list, it would tell me I’m only partially matched, right?
I’m pretty sure it would say something like “you matched to a one year position” not fully matched

Yes it's a different email. A few people on the gas discord received prelim only emails.
