Question on Rank List and Match Day

Good question.

I would have guessed the same as ur sec. said, but to make SURE u better call the NRMP people.

I could definetly see how this would be a huge problem later on if things don't work out for whatever reason.

Good luck.

 

if you do indeed put a transitional year at the end of your list, you will not find out until thursday. however, if you just put down your advanced list along with your supplemental list for every spot, you will find out on monday.

there will be a couple e-mails sent (if i remember correctly)...

1. congrats you matched
2. you matched into an advanced, but not a pgy1 postion
3. you did not match

to the best of my knowledge, if you don't match into your primary list, it will not match you into anything (including supplemental list) because the algorithm never took the next step of finding you a year one position. however, if a transitional year is on your primary list, you may match into that and receive the congrats you matched letter. hope this jumbled mess helps. this is my understanding of the process.

 

I have the same concern right now. I am putting prelim programs that I would not mind going to if I can't do radiology on my list (2 of them). Since the radiology scramble will likely be non existent, I'd rather match into one these than try to scramble.

Did you post this message on auntminnie.com as well? The wording of a similar question is almost exactly the same over there.
