Medical Leave of Absence - how does it impact match application?

[Question]

Hello,

I will be taking a medical LOA after my 2nd year and will be starting 3rd year in Jan. 2023. I would graduate in Jan.2025 and match with the class of 2025. I just wanted to double check if whether I would be labeled as a graduating senior or an independent graduate? I've heard there is a big difference in the outcome of the match depending on the classification

There should be no difference in your match

I believe graduating senior. But the label doesn't really matter.
