To most, it only matters in retrospect as a marker of how applicants perceive your program and how effective you are in selecting who you interview. For the subs, you typically interview 40-60 people from a pool of 100 ish on a short list, so this refers to picking from the short list.At mine we never changed a rank list after interview day. Expressed interest had no bearing. Falling down our list one year did make us change how we did our interview day, how we selected interviews, and what kind of post interview outreach we did to top choices. It didn’t mean we started gaming it by ranking people highly who kissed arse.Matching in your top 10 means you effectively selected interviewees and that your most desired applicants felt similarly about you. It’s a good goal but it only matters if you reach it the right way.</blockquote>
