Here's last year's:
http://chicago.medicine.uic.edu/Use...ear/Scramble/Regional Unfilled Stats 2010.pdf

looks like there were sig fewer family spots unfilled this year?

That was the one thing that stood out to me.

Me too...wonder what the ratio of scramble spots::unmatched US seniors is this year

Quite an uninteresting stat imho not taking step scores into account. IMHO spots::240++ US seniors would be a ratio with more validity. You can't base stats like that on the presumption that all students are equal much less actually fit to practice medicine. If programs find students not competent to practice of course they will not match and skew the results.

I hope I'm reading this wrong (and apologies in advance if I am) - you're not implying that students under a 240 are less fit to practice medicine, are you? Because there's a lot more to being competent than simply how you do on the USMLE.

Of course people with scores below 240 are statistically less fit to practice medicine than the people with scores above 240! The keyword here is "statistically."

I think it depends on other things, example: specialty of choice, location, having done aways, research, LORs, etc...
Please don't be "that guy"

Statistically implies there are statistics

Probability is implied in statistics

How is it illegal to post stats based on region that's been released by the NRMP? Just curious...

I agree, especially when the link is unsecured. Is the money I am paying seriously going to copyright enforcement when it has minimal to no bearing on match integrity? This is actually annoying me a little.

This data has been released to those who have participated in the match (ie people who have paid to register for the NRMP), but not to the public (yet). We have received a complaint from the NRMP regarding their copyrighted material, and we are complying with their request.

As has been pointed out above, if you have a login with the NRMP, you should be able to find the information on your own.

 

[Doctor4Life1769]

Fair enough... I didn't post anything but was curious about it.
Since they have all that money tied into their lawyers, best not to mess with them..
