Can you find another specialty which seems to focus so intently on ranking residency programs? Or one that has its subforum invaded by anonymous posts during match season?

Makes u think. Discuss.

These are probably the reasons we're so concerned with rankings

1)some people want highly coveted coastal jobs.
2) some people perceive the job market to be a lot worse than it really is.
3) some people just value ego stroking because the brand name attached to their training defines who they are.
