Question about advanced/prelim matching and Monday

What exactly will the email on Monday tell you?

Say my list is like:

1. Advanced radiology A
- prelim a
- prelim b

2. Advanced radiology B
-prelim a
-prelim b

3. Prelim A

4. Prelim B


If for some reason I slipped all the way down to a prelim spot on my main match list, will I know that come Monday?

Same goes for matching advanced with no prelim

If you did not match to say your #1 or #2 options as stated above, and say you ended up at #3 or 4, then your email would say, "Congrats, you matched to a 1st year position" or something of the sort.

If you matched to #1 or 2 fully, it would say, "Congrats, you have matched"

If you matched advanced but not prelim, it would say you matched to an advanced position but not a preliminary/first year position.
