I was shocked when I saw the number of unfilled positions. Now I guess we'll wait and see if we're surprised by the programs that didn't fill...

Yeah, I was really suprised too, as competitive as it was this year. It doesn't seem like there were nearly that many unfilled spots last year, but I don't really remember. Just hoping it means I'm closer to the top of my list than the bottom. 😀
 
wow, i don't know the stats from previous years to compare to, but isn't that a lot unfilled spots? does this mean it was more competitive this year or less? As in, did programs just rank people with insanely high credentials and they all matched early?
 
Wow, there's alot of unfill spot in northeast...whats up with that?
 
This is what happens when programs overestimate their chances and applicants underestimate theirs. Northeast got a little cocky this year, good luck in the scramble to these programs .

Maybe the interest in anesthesia is less than the number of available positions. That happens, too.
 
Don't think these CRNA fears aren't trickling down to med student choices. As a first year, much of my interest in anesthesia is being tempered by the current debacle and fears for the future of the profession.

I think this mess contributes to an explanation for decreasing competitiveness, if it is indeed decreasingly competitive.
 
Out of curiosity, where did this information come from?

I was under the (mistaken?) impression that programs don't find out if they filled until tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon.

Source?

If you sign on to the NRMP website and go to "My Reports," it's listed under "Regional Match Statistics by Specialty." I would have posted the entire report but I'm not sure how to. As far as I know, the actual lists of unfilled programs will come out tomorrow, but only be accessible to those that didn't match.
 
Oh nice; yeah I don't have my login information on my (didn't memorize my ID, oddly enough). I will have to check it when I'm home.

Thanks, everyone!

Good luck on Thursday!

Not sure if it's always been the case, but it looks like the Categorical spots are little more competitive as well.
 
i think the initial number of unmatched is always higher than what's reported in the nrmp match outcomes, i think that's how it was last year.

As a side note the peds residency program coordinator told me that they had a list of not only if they filled but who matched at their program at 9am this morning...

I am glad i am one of the few IMGs that matched this year. Congrats to everyone else who matched and good luck in the scramble to those that didn't.

Whoa! 😱 I didn't know that... I also didn't know that if we matched advanced, but not prelim, we can call NRMP today and find out which city:whoa:... that would have helped since my choices are so far away from each other. Unfortunately, I matched prelim too :laugh:
 
I wonder how many of those unfilled slots are attributable to this forum?
 
yeah, i am sure some of the comments on here scared some people off... lucky for me i guess, cause i matched!

Yeah dude, congratulations! I know you worked your butt off, and it paid off. That congratulations can be extended to everybody else, also (and best of luck to those who have to scramble).

thank you, congratulations to you as well. I'm looking forward to becoming more involved in clinical case discussions and most likely posting a few of my own...

Definitely. Congrats RJ!👍
 
any word on the unfilled programs and spots available?
 
does anyone recall what programs went unfilled last year?

i know suny downstate had a ton of open spots last year. and then a couple midwest programs also.

Downstate? I thought that was a good program... though this is purely through hearsay. When a program goes unfilled, is the common wisdom that they shot too high and was too selective in ranking?

According to the programs results for 2009.

U of Arkansas, U of Conneticut, Yale, U of Kansas-Wichita, LSU-Shreveport, U of Massachusetts, Albert Einstein, SUNY Downstate, Case-Metro, Texas Tech, West Virginia, MCW, U of Wisconsin.

Also, I was wondering since there was such a high # of unfilled spots in the NE, maybe that NY program (I forget which one) that withdrew from the match is part of those open spots.

I think the program that withdrew was St. Vincent's in NYC.
 
Northeast has so many unmatched because according to the list SUNY HSC Brooklyn-NY has 11 unfilled spots

Wow! 11 unfilled spots?!?! I knew they were going to have at least 5 or 6, but damn...😱
 
St Vincent is the program you're referring to and it's likely they weren't counted in the statistics since they withdrew before the quota deadline, and thus offered 0 positions in the Match.
 
Does anyone know if UCONN filled this year? Please respond
 
11? I thought for sure that's where I ended up.
 
Are all past years NRMP statistics prescrambled? I feel like post-scrambled data are between PDs and applicants and the NRMP has no hands in it. I could be wrong.
 
Off subject, but out of curiosity, does anyone know why deans find out where students matched and programs find out who they matched before the applicants do?

I understand that the deans need to know who didn't match to assist with the scramble, but why do they get specifics before applicants?!

For programs, do they need that info to get contracts ready, or do they just sit on it? It's not a huge deal obviously, but I wish we could learn about our futures at the same time these other parties do!

thanks guys.. can't wait to find out where I matched and who my classmates are..The next 4 years are going to be awesome! well maybe not the first year but anesthesia years will be for sure!
 
Wow, thats alot of unfilled spots for SUNY HSC Brooklyn.... whats up with that? Is it that bad of a place? I thought it was pretty good when i interviewed there.
 
hopefully someone will post the unfilled places and the number of spots that were left open thursday after the match..

it would be interesting to see which places rejected me and were left open for the scramble... One would assume programs don't like to scramble just as much as applicants right? or are some places are so ego driven that they would rather not take an applicant than lower their status?

As I understand it, some quality programs with little name recognition/or geographical "it" factor under-fill regularly, simply by being out of the way/not in a desirable locale. To these PDs it might make more sense to get some statistically elite candidates who didn't match in the uber-competitive fields, versus lowering their own ROL standards. Personally, I would find it hard to ignore that these candidates, after all, did not want to be in anesthesiology initially.

you hit the nail on the head there! (especially with regards to geography.)
