how will i know if i have matched to a program?
at 12:00 noon on monday of match week, applicants can learn if they matched to a program on their rank order list by logging in to the nrmp's registration, ranking, and results (r3) system using their aamc id and password. Applicants will be presented with one of the following messages on the applicant options page:
1. Congratulations, you have matched!
this message will be displayed for any applicant who is "fully" matched, including
- applicants who listed and matched to a categorical program.
- applicants who listed and matched to preliminary and advanced programs.
other conditions also apply. Applicants who listed only advanced programs on their certified rank order lists and did not list any preliminary positions on a supplemental rank order list will receive this message. Similarly, applicants who included only preliminary programs on their certified rank order lists will receive this statement. The matching algorithm considers an applicant "matched" if he/she lists only one program type on his/her certified rank order list. Applicants who receive this message will not be eligible to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program, nor will they have access to the list of unfilled programs.
2. Congratulations, you have matched to an advanced position but not a first year position!
this message will be displayed for any applicant who matched to an advanced position but did not match to a preliminary position listed on a supplemental rank order list. Applicants who receive this message and who are deemed eligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match will have access to the list of unfilled programs and will be eligible to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program obtain a preliminary position. Applicants will not have access to information about unfilled categorical or advanced positions.
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 and who are deemed eligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match will have access to the list of unfilled programs and will be eligible to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program to obtain an advanced position. Applicants will not have access to information about untilled categorical or preliminary positions.
4. We are sorry, you did not match to any position!
this message will be displayed for any applicant who did not match to any program. For applicants participating as a partner of a couple, this statement also may be displayed if the applicant listed the 999999999 program code on the primary rank order list to indicate '"no match". Applicants who receive this message and who are deemed eligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match will have access to the list of unfilled programs and will be eligible to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program for any category of unfilled positions.
5. You are not matched because you did not submit a certified rank order list!
this message will be displayed for any applicant who registered to participate in the match but did not certify a rank order list prior to the
rank order list certification deadline. Applicants who receive this message and who are deemed eligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match will have access to the list of unfilled programs and will be eligible to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program for any category of unfilled positions.

this message will be displayed for any applicant who registered to participate in the match but was withdrawn either by the medical school or by the nrmp. Applicants who are withdrawn because they are ineligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match will not have access to the list of unfilled programs or be allowed to participate in the match week supplemental offer and acceptance program unless by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the wednesday prior to match week the applicant becomes eligible to enter graduate medical education on july 1 in the year of the match.
