I matched. The website was so terrible today we had some classmates who were listed as "not matched" but then the website rebooted and then they were listed as "matched". Crazy stuff
If you guys don't mind, can you tell us (after Friday) how many programs you applied to, ranked and if matched at your #1 spot? Thanks. Hope you are at least able to get a drink/eat something good tonight 🙂 (most likely a take-out 😛)
Here's my question for the scramblers - are you going to wait for someone to call you or are you going to pick up the phone?
30+ didn't match after the first rounds. More numbers to come next week.

Good luck everyone. Interested in which programs scrambled
Based on Facebook posts from the schools: NYCPM and WesternU had a 100% match rate
TUSPM also reporting 100%

Wow Dekalb has two open spots after the second match period? What happened?

Yeah some pretty good programs there. And a lot of New York trash.
Medstar going unfilled? Interesting. Congrats everyone! Go out to your favorite bar tonight and get wasted! Oh wait..........
That list is weird to me. So this is post-scramble? ie post the 3-4 rounds?
I've looked at a lot of these lists through the years and just a few thoughts - the list seems larger. The number of adequate programs still unfilled seems higher.
My past memory - after the MP2 the list is usually small. Fewer spots on it. Almost entirely composed of NY. Normally no adequate/decent/good programs left. Good programs go into the scramble, but they usually leave it filled. There's theoretically a process - good programs with links back to certain schools are calling the Dean/Clerkship director saying - who is your "shouldn't have had to scramble/best you got" candidate left so we can talk to them.
Were there fewer graduates?
MP2 is kind of a trainwreck. Best train they could build I suppose. If a program can't get their 1st choice the process becomes super painful with possibly round #2 being a complete waste of time and a lot of phonecalls begging people to wait for us in the next round. Hard to feel bad for programs though when students are in way more danger.

I heard there were something like 80 extra seats this year, so it sounds like a shortage of students.

Wow! that’s great news for class of 2021 I would think.

its easy for medstar to go unmatched when they take 78 residents...
Detroit Medical Center went unmatched? Wasn't that program supposed to be "top tier" in the MI area?
I don't know that at the moment but I'm sure it's around last year's one.

Jesus they really take 8. That‘s insane
Barry also had 100%
Congrats to all that matched.
I do wonder how the excess unfilled positions will affect future classes. Once upon a time there was a shortage, now there's more spots than students. I noticed eneollmen in some schools have increased though.

As long as we have a graduating class of less than 600 and the number of participating programs around 600..we should be okay in placing everyone. This will be an issue (maybe for the class of 2025) when that new program in Tx participates in the match.
Hopefully, CPME will increase active programs at that time to meet the demand.

Good numbers. Glad things seemed to work out this year.
80+ spots
Congrats to everyone that matched! Scholl had a 100% match rate.
I was fortunate enough to match to my #1 program. Once again congrats to everyone!
