For all the doubters about matching at new schools, here is OUWB's match
https://www.oakland.edu/?id=32941&sid=340
You're right, but having Mass Gen anesthesia, Harvard-Longwood psych, Duke EM, among other good programs (U of M, Chicago) is a great start for a first class with only 48 people in it. Especially when Beaumont has the #9 ranked ortho program and has two kids who matched there, you can't complain about it. In addition, Beaumont is a great hospital (ranked #1 in Michigan if you count USNews).Not to be a downer, but how is that a great match? They are mostly at the Beaumont health system.

This year is higher than usual. Probably has to do with the Ferguson stuff making people from out of town a bit more hesitant about St. Louis while the WashU people know that things are fine so in the end it settled out to more people staying than typical.
Probably hospital rankings. I'm not trying to overstate or or anything like that, I was just ecstatic to see our first match list#9 ranked by who? Hospital rankings != residency rankings. Its fine to be proud of your school, but there's no use in overstating things.
I'd agree. To expand: there are certainly years when a bunch of WashU people (just like students from every other medical school) stay at the same institution for residency as "fallbacks", but for the most part (as evident from the live stream), people were pretty ecstatic to stay this year. The Ferguson situation probably played a minor but non-trivial role in this. In fact, I could probably name more people who wanted to stay but didn't (often ROADS/surgical specialties) than people who did match at WashU to their disappointment (mayyybe 3-5 people, if I had to guess?)... Regardless, congratulations to everyone, both here in St. Louis and elsewhere!
Random non sequitur: for all of the match list nerds out there, does anyone know of or have data on how home institution matches correlate with other variables? I know there have been discussions comparing the medical student/residency incest of WashU/JHU/Harvard/UCSF, etc... but I wonder whether other variables, in particular age and/or marital status at graduation, affect this (maybe rank list data would be better than match list data, but that's probably much harder to collect and find). My hypothesis is that older students as well as those in long-term relationships (married or not, but especially with other people in medicine or science) would be inclined to stay at their medical school institution for residency given the desire to avoid uprooting their families, etc... Thoughts? Maybe best discussed in another thread...
Overall OUWB had a very solid match for a charter class, I think. Good mix of several different specialties - on the interview trail I heard a student discussing completely baseless rumor that they were trying to push students towards primary care because they were a "community program". Match list should now confirm that's a crock of s***. Some matches at some very good residencies too - shows that going to a new school is not necessarily going to hurt you in landing a competitive spot if you have the other qualifications.

The "pushing people to primary care" is almost always a baseless rumor regardless of the school. Some schools provide better experiences in PC than other though.

38.5% to be precise. This is actually typical for a top 10 school (within a certain range, lower than Harvard, higher than Yale).Jesus Christ like 3/5 of the washu kids stay in st Louis
The pm&r matches look pretty good though.Underwhelming.
Isnt tcmc's mission to train physicians who will work in ne pennsylvania? lol
Don't they have any of their own residencies? That must be kinda scary.University of Central Florida

Yes they do... I was thinking about the same thing, but their match is not heavy in FM, IM, EM...Don't they have any of their own residencies? That must be kinda scary.
seems like decent numbers going into psych. is psych so hot right now?
Gotta say, Penn's list is really the only school's match list where I'm consistently blown away.
