Program says I've withdrawn from the match!

I reached out to a program I interviewed at for residency to ask a quick question before certifying my ROL. This program told me the NRMP showed that I "withdrew" from the match. This is the first I'm hearing this, no other program told me anything, and I received no notification that I've withdrawn. I admit I screwed up and didn't register for NRMP until a few weeks ago so I'm late on that, but now I'm worried that all the other programs might have seen it the same way and not bother to rank me. I went ahead and certified my list today, and am verified on NRMP. Surprisingly I'm having a panic attack over this, I plan to tell this program that I'm seeing all green on my end, hoping they can rank me. How do I check with the other programs with it being so close to the deadline? Is this something I should let my school know? I'm a graduate going back to the match. Any other advice other than prepare to SOAP?

Reach out to all the programs you are ranking. Let them know you registered for the match late, and if they had trouble ranking you to please update their list. How late did you register? In no case should it say you withdrew -- it would have said you were not registered, and they may have assumed you withdrew. You can withdraw after you register - but I assume this isn't what happened. The ROL deadline for all is 3/4, so there is still time. Programs may, or may not, decide to update their lists. It's possible this one program just got their list in super early.
