So I realize I'm probably totally overanalyzing..but I honestly can't sleep b/c of this little nagging feeling I have.

Here is what is keeping me awake:

I ranked 8 radonc programs. At the end of my rank list, since I wasn't positive I would match, I ranked as my #9 choice a prelim medicine year all by it's lonesome self.

Is it possible that the "congratulations you matched" email means that I only got that? Or do you have to get both residency AND prelim to be considered matched (EVEN IF ONE OF YOUR ROL CHOICES IS TO MATCH IN A PRELIM YEAR ALONE????)

If anyone knows the answer, I'd really appreciate it!! Thank you! ND

last year i matched only into the prelim part of my rank list... ie I did not get an advanced spot. The email said " Congratulations! You have matched into a one year position. " It then said something about the positions for the scramble being made available to me the next day... You'll be fine...

In case it wasn't clear, I put a prelim spot as my number 7 on my rank list, and I got my number 7 choice...

You matched to a radonc program. If you rank a prelim among other types of programs on your list, you only get the simple "you have matched" email if you matched to a categorical position, or else a prelim+advanced position.

If you had matched the prelim spot it would say, "you have matched to a one-year position."
