If I decide to edit my list after certifying does the original order get deleted?

[Radiologyreviews2015]

Or do I have to input everything into this archaic system again? IE I made 19 different supplemental lists. I may decide to change some things tonight. Will it delete everything if I decide to edit it or will i be okay?

No. If you want to edit, it will give you a warning that you're going from "certified" to "ranking", but it will show you your existing list and you can just drag and drop things wherever you like. Just make sure to certify again at the end if you want your list to make it into the match.

Also good to know: if you are certified and edit your list again, but don't re-certify before the deadline, the last list you certified will be submitted (i.e. you don't have to worry about not being certified at all)

This is incorrect. From the NRMP Applicant FAQ: "If you change your certified ROL by adding, moving, or deleting a program, you must recertify it for it to be used in a Match. The R3® system does not save previous versions of your rank order list."

So does basically everybody at your school go unmatched each year because they follow this advice?

I agree. If your school is actually telling you this, that's pretty messed up. It's worth considering whether or not you want to send a friendly email to your class list-serve setting the record straight. No reason to let someone you know go unmatched for a dumb reason if you can do anything about it.
