I'm a current applicant, and have been fortunate to have been offered admission to a T20. I was taking a look at the school's 2024 match list, and am struggling to understand how exactly this data is valuable in determining this school's success in matching graduates into competitive residency programs.
For example, the school matched 4 students into ophthalmology and 3 into orthopedic surgery, all at really good programs (Hopkins, Stanford, etc.), and the school also matched over 10 students into family medicine. How would anyone know if the students who matched family med did so because they're interested in family medicine, or if it's actually that they wanted to match optho/ortho but ended up having to "settle" for family med?
