Has anyone else got the email from UKent saying they messed up: I'm in shock guys; I ranked them very high..
We are writing to inform you of an error that occurred when the rank lists at the
University of Kentucky were entered into the NRMP. Unfortunately, our categorical (4-
year program, start as PGY1, 9 positions available) list was entered under the program
code for the advanced program (3-year program, start as PGY2, 1 position available) and
vice versa. This error was just discovered yesterday, March 13, 2006.
Because it has been our practice to only put the applicants who specifically expressed
an interest in a 3-year position during the interview process on the 3-year program rank
list, only seven names were on that list which was supposed to be submitted for the one
PGY2 position available. As a result, the vast majority of applicants who interviewed at
the University of Kentucky for a 4-year position were not on the rank list that was
ultimately used by the NRMP for our categorical positions and, therefore, had no chance
of matching with our program.
We sincerely, apologize to all applicants who have been affected by this error. While
we are disappointed that most of our resident positions will be unfilled, we are MOST
upset that this error may have affected the lives of resident applicants who had ranked our
program highly and hoped to have an opportunity to train in our department.
Please accept our sincerest apologies for this mistake. All of the applicants who
interviewed at the University of Kentucky were exceptionally strong candidates and will
become outstanding anesthesiologists who will represent our specialty well. It is with
deep regret that we realize our error will deprive us of the opportunity to work with many
of you. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us
