Matched at #10? 15? 20? Post here!

As many of us debate whether to keep these last few interviews, it would be really helpful to know how much those last few on the tank list are worth. For those who matched low on their rank lists, post your specialty, stats and # on your ROL where you matched.

Just look at the contiguous ranks match percentage for your specialty.

Just look at the contiguous ranks match percentage for your specialty.

That graph shows that out of the people with list of length X, how many matched at any rank (X-n). It does not show how many people matched at rank X. There is a difference. Many more people match at the high (1-4) ranks than have short lists (1-4 ranks). Many more people have long lists (15+ ranks) than match at those low ranks. The type of applicant that has a short list is different from the average applicant. Extrapolating from the match rate of people who had only 2 ranks is dicey. I would bet it is not the same as the percentage of all people who matched at rank 1 or 2.

Partial data is in here: http://www.nrmp.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Main-Match-Results-and-Data-2015_final.pdf

Look at Table 15 in the document. In 2015, only ~14% of USG applicants matched at their >4th choice, 7.5% for IMG.

It also states that 5.5% of USG and 41.7% of IMG were unmatched from their ROLs.
