For those who were wondering why it takes so long for the NRMP to run the match algorithm
"I've seen numerous memes this week making fun of the NRMP for holding on to the match algorithm results for 2 weeks in between certifying rank lists and releasing results. See @drglaucomflecken for the best one, of course.
But the truth is that the NRMP is not to further torture students. As always, there is a method to the seeming madness.
💥Here’s the explanation straight from the #NRMP
Between the Rank Order List Certification Deadline and Match Day, the NRMP conducts a rigorous review of Match data, including:
.
1️⃣Assessing and confirming the integrity of the data
2️⃣Conducting a final verification of applicants’ credentials
3️⃣Withdrawing applicants who are ineligible for the Match
4️⃣Transferring the data from the R3 system to the matching algorithm module, rechecking the data, processing the algorithm, and transferring data back into the R3 system
5️⃣Verifying the results of a Match and transferring the data into the NRMP databases
6️⃣Verifying applicants’ credentials for SOAP participation in the Main Residency Match
7️⃣Preparing 50,000 individual Match Week reports for applicants, PDs, and med schools
All of this takes time, checks, and re-checks to ensure accuracy and fairness."
