What does this mean exactly? I mean, if I have only my top ten to rank, what does this mean that the programs are doing? Is there a 'one to one' coordination (one, two three for applicants they like and want to rank) or is it more like groups of 'one' 'two' 'three' or whatever. And, what does it mean 'ranked to match' versus 'top 10' versus 'A Group'?
Really, I am not sure how programs put down their top people choices and I admit I am feeling kind of freaked out about all this. I have no idea where programs might rank me. Say I rank a program #1 and they kind of like me but at what point will I not get that program? Or, say I rank a program #3, where do I have to fall in their 'love list' in order to actually match at their program?
I am getting nervous about all this stuff !!
Mostly, because I really don't understand it.
