I was just wondering if there is any publication out there comparing schools in terms of "Match" success. Most applicants getting into radiology, derm, optha etc. Highest percentage of "1st choices"?
You should take some time and search the forums to learn more about this dead horse you just started beating.
Match lists are one of the worst things to use to try and evaluate med schools. Most (probably all) pre-meds are completely lacking the knowledge to compare and contrast match lists.
Evaluating based on the # of students matching into random competitive specialties is a poor metric - since there is a lot of self-selection, and you don't know if there are another 10 students in the class who
could have matched in derm but decided they like gen surg or medicine better. And for example, if in four years you end up going into anesthesiology, why will it matter how many students from your school went into dermatology?
Evaluating based on the flashy recognizable names (Johns Hopkins, Yale, Duke, etc) is a poor metric - since not every top program is top notch in
every area of residency training. Additionally, the top programs for many subspecialties are places pre-meds likely have never heard of.
Evaluating based on # of 1st choice matches is a poor metric - you don't know what went into making that place the student's first place or how competitive that particular first choice was. And in fact according to some admissions office, the "% of students matching at one of their top 3 choices" is a statistic that they have been discouraged from using by the AAMC since it is misleading and not very helpful.
Here's all you need to know about match lists: if you go to a great school, they will have a great match list, because they attract great students. If you are a great students, you will in all likelihood have a great match, and the particular school you attend won't really change that.
