I wish everyone published them.
Hahahah, of course! The ones available anyway. SDN has done this in the past and I found it interesting, that's all.
There is a thread like this every year for a while now.

A reminder to take these with a grain of salt. Match lists include people who did not match last year, people who did not match into the specialty they want, people who may have good matches that were really #10 on their list for personal reasons, people who are willing to sacrifice residency "tier" for location. The lists also don't include people who do not match.
My school had 7 people match into one of the most competitive fields....9 people applied. Those 2 unmatched people are not on the match list. We had 2 out of 5 applicants match into ortho last year. Several of the people who matched into the tippy top programs for their field, had a research year. That isn't shown on the match list. Keep that in mind when looking at the lists

This is exactly why @Goro likes to say reading match lists is like reading tea leaves.
Good thing I majored in reading tea leaves
Will a major in Astrology or Tea Reading look better to AdComs?
Match lists also do not tell you hwat residency programs are good, and which ones are toxic. Don't be starry-eyed just because a name has, say, Vanderbilt on it. Vandy's Gen Surg could be great, but Vandy's Derm could be terrible. Only people int he field can tell you what's good and what's not.
I would suggest Astrology. Tea Reading is from Asia and Asians are ORM. That might hurt your chances of getting into med school
Is there any terrible derm residency? I am sure people would love to even go to a toxic program as long as they dont have a tendency to fire people mid residency.
Unfortunately Astrology is also Asian and Middle Eastern in origin. I'm screwed either way 🙁.
Homeopathy, Dianetics, phrenology,radionics, Magnet therapy, so many good majors that avoid that bias.
or my favorite. Wumbology

- Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) or osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) – the core technique of osteopathic medicine. OMM is based on a philosophy devised by Andrew Taylor Still (1828–1917) who held that the body had self-regulating mechanisms that could be harnessed through manipulating the bones, tendons and muscles. It has been proposed as a treatment for a number of human ailments including Parkinson's disease, pancreatitis, and pneumonia but has only been found to be effective for lower back pain by virtue of the spinal manipulation used.[46][47][48] It has long been regarded as rooted in "pseudoscientific dogma".[49] In 2010, Steven Salzberg referred to the OMT-specific training given by colleges of osteopathic medicine as "training in pseudoscientific practices".[50]
