I know the likelihood of matching at your number 1 program varies based on the applicant and the program, but as I applied this year I was curious to know how many people match at their first choice. Maybe some future applicants will find it helpful.

As I've noted before, I matched at my #3 choice. It was fine.🙂

I think I read somewhere that 87% of US seniors match in their top 3 choices, so that's good news 🙂

I matched my #1. But I also did not get interviews in some places that I would have liked to rank (that's how it goes as a DO). I like to think that I turned out ok. 🙂

No matter where you go, work hard and you will go far.
 
Yeah, I'm not too worried about bias. This is really just to satisfy my curiosity and because I have nothing better to do while I sit and wait for March 15th.
 
My data point is a little misleading...got my number one ranked, though changed it at the last minute due to family reasons so not exactly first choice.
 
couples matched so going down the list was not unexpected.... got my number 6 and very happy!!!

any questions with couples match feel free to pm me

soo happy with everyone matching!
