Match question

[Idiopathic]

---

Members don't see this ad.

Will my notice on the 13th tell me something like:

1) You matched (assume categorical)
2) You matched advanced and you matched preliminary intern
3) You matched preliminary intern only (and then give me scramble options)

I was wondering because my last rank spot on my anesthesiology ROL was for a prelim medicine year. If I match that spot (only) will I be able to scramble for advanced spots before match day? Or will I simply have 'matched' and that is that.

5000+ posts, wow!

You remind me of my first week in medical school.

I asked my anatomy professor what does "idiopathic" mean.

To which he chucked and replied "the idiots don't know the pathology".

The faq has the breakdown, you would be greeted by option #3 if you matched to the prelim:

1. Congratulations, you have matched!
2. Congratulations, you have matched to an advanced position but not a first year position!

3. Congratulations, you have matched to a one year position!

This message will be displayed for any applicant who matched to a preliminary position but did not match to an advanced position listed on the primary rank order list. Applicants who receive this message will have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs and are eligible to participate in the post-match Scramble for unfilled positions to obtain an advanced position; however, applicants may not use the Scramble to obtain a categorical position or a different preliminary position.

4. We are sorry, you did not match to any position!
5. You are NOT matched because you did not submit a certified rank order list!
6. You are NOT matched because you are withdrawn!

And the answer to the question that caused some consternation in another forum earlier is:

I'm a US senior in an allopathic medical school and I've been offered a position outside the Match. What should I do?

If any of a teaching hospital's graduate medical education programs participates in the NRMP's Main Match, all of the hospital's programs may accept US seniors in allopathic medical schools only through the NRMP or another national matching plan. Offering a contract outside the Match is a violation of the Match Participation Agreement. US allopathic seniors who obtain PGY-2 positions through another national matching plan must obtain their PGY-1 preliminary positions through the NRMP's Main Match.

Doesn't seem to have anything to do with being registered.

Thanks for all the help.

Thanks for the answer, and where did you find the second part? I dont recall seeing it anywhere on the NRMP site.

There are two faq's, one for US Seniors and one for Independent Applicants. Maybe you have just been looking under the Independent Applicants one by default (as I usually do as well)?
