Match Lists 2015!!!!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
A lot of people are from Cali and it's what they know. Same reason people who have never lived outside of a major city can't see themselves in a mid sized town.

There are a lot of people from the region (ie population dense).
People tend to like their roots.

Because the whole region from Virginia Beach VA to Homestead FL and beyond to Brownsville TX has terrible weather, poor politics, high crime, backwards thinking population, oil spills, major hurricanes, and of course guns guns guns. Definitely nobody should apply there. Not even as a backup.


At least, do not apply to the SE region in 2016 pls.

I could see it. Make ophtho part of a core rotation, be nice to the medical students while on the service, show off the good lifestyle and high pay, and 17 students decide they were born to be ophthalmologists.

But not a single student matched at the home program. I have a hard time believing not one person wanted to stay....more likely they wanted students from more "prestigious" schools

It's kind of funny (and sad) how so much of med students' specialty decision making is determined by interactions with residents and attendings over a brief 4-8 week rotation than the actual work itself. Looking back for example, OB/GYN was the rotation that I liked the most subject-matter wise but had some pretty crappy residents and attendings and that just turned me off from the specialty.

Jeff had 20 people match into Ortho and 18 into Ophtho, not surprising with Rothman and Wills Eye Hospital

Agreed. New Orleans is a terrible, no good place and no one should ever apply to such horrible place. Ever. Unless it's after 2018. I'm sure things will be fine by then.

This is large? I must have gone to a large med school, because my class size was around 225... I thought that was normal.

My school is usually ~148

My class was the "largest" in school history with ~160.

Mayo has like 50 in their class, iirc. :eek:
Guess it just depends on the school.

Not a particularly high-paying specialty. Decent lifestyle, though.

You beat me to it. I was kinda surprised Bascom did not take anyone from Miami. It will be interesting to see where their residents are coming from this year. I have only seen two so far - one from Penn, and the other one from Harvard.

Ophtho is a pretty high paying specialty... Especially retina. Even general ophtho has very high patient volume, plenty of in-office procedures (intra vit. injections, lasers, excisions) and cataract surgery can be done in about 10 minutes, 15-20 cataracts before noon is the norm... the $ adds up. Not to mention there are a vast amount of elective procedures (and elective add-ons to cataract sx) to be done in the field as well.

No... its not the #1 paying specialty lol but there is a pot of gold to be had in ophthalmology. (and the on-call isn't too bad, very few things require immediate treatment/intervention).

go ophtho!

It's also a specialty with enormous overhead. And the starting salaries are pretty darned low. Read the ophtho forums. It's a good specialty, but there are easier (and less competitive) ways to make money in medicine nowadays.

Agreed. Half that forum is bemoaning the sub-$100k starting salaries in many markets. Ophtho also has a problem of major over-saturation in major markets.

Not saying it's not a good field, but the $$ you see a lot of older docs making isn't going to be there for newly minted ophthos.

Good points sir. If you aren't in an affluent area also then those elective procedures become scarce.
 
Any thoughts on why some US grads don't match? Is this usually an unrealistic/bad strategy or just a really, really weak application?

I know a few people who had to repeat MS3 and still matched, so I don't understand why every year there's ~4% who don't match after SOAP. Step 1 = 205 applying to only coastal ortho programs?
