Can you point me to the link? I have not made up my mind yet on the rankings. Can I try it to see how it works or it just locks in once I submit my rankings? March 8th is the last date for me to submit my rankings right? Thank you
Remember, if you really don't want to go somewhere, don't put them on the bottom of the list. You should remove them from your list. Otherwise there's still a chance of getting in there...

Before you do that though, really consider if it will be worse to go to an undesirable place or to not do a residency at all if you don't match...just my two cents from last year's experience. Not saying I would have matched even if I had ranked all of my places, but now I'll never know.
I have one more interview then the ranking begins!

And you'll also never find out first hand that there's probably a good reason why you didn't rank them.
If you and a program are not a good fit for each other (yes its a two way street), do not rank them.
I can see both perspectives on this. I don't have high hopes that this program would rank me high anyways, but I'm just trying to think could I survive a year there. Would it be worth it or not. It's a tough question. This is what I wanted for awhile now, but can I handle be miserable for it. No pain, no gain?
I was told by some of my programs that I should consider ranking them and one specifically said that I was very sound and they were very impressed with me. Are they telling this to everyone that interviewed? Have any of you been told this as well?

I haven't gotten this either....are programs allowed to make comments about ranking at the interviews?

Interestingly, they are not meant to make comments about ranking but I had a PD email someone I know and said they were a very good candidate and that they will be pleased to welcome them to the program come match day...now, what does that say? Is that a subtle hint or not so subtle?

No. Just like candidates don't rank every program they apply to.Just curious. Do programs rank all the candidates that they interview?

I just put in my tentative list on ROLIC. I have one more interview Thursday so that may or may not change my list as it stands now.
I have two programs I can't decide which one to rank over the other towards the end of my list. One has more things I like and want in a program but the location is not ideal compared to the other one which has an ideal location and has a lot of things I like but not as much as the other program but still is an awesome program.
DECISIONS!!
We don't rank all candidates...last year we ranked about 60% of those we interviewed.
Some people are good on paper, but super weird in person...

One of my friends has been getting emails like that too. So here's the question for those residents and pharmacists out there, is it a bad sign if we are not getting emails like this??
Now I'm worried because I feel like it makes sense from any program's perspective to say something like that to the people they really like without directly talking about ranking....it's def a good email to get! I would be ecstatic to get an email like that!

Go with your gut instinct. If you really think it would be truly horrible, then I wouldn't rank that place. There was one place I didn't rank because I didn't think it lined up well enough with my career goals, but in retrospect I think my career goals were too idealized anyway. Doing that residency probably would have been better for me than doing no residency.
what do you mean by super weird??? psychos??? or just nervous wrecks?
Sounds like a pretty good reason not to rank them. Residency does not have to = misery.Thank you for this. I kept thinking about it over and over again yesterday. I'm going to take them off my list. I honestly don't think they would rank me anyways, but you never know.
My gut is telling me to don't do it. Stay as far away as possible. The big issue with the program is just the vibe I got from everyone. The residents seemed miserable, which I can understand from being worked hard. However, other residents I met were excited and I could tell they loved their program (they were fighting for positions and a lot of people were staying on for PGY-2). Here, everyone wanted to leave and fast.
I completely agree.I have no idea where I stand... unable to assess from interview days whether I left a positive impression or not... I have not received any indication, positive or negative, about how programs view me.
I got "thank you for interviewing, contact us with questions, good luck in the match" emails a few days after the interview from 2 places. I'm pretty sure I'll be ranked at the 3 places interviewed but where on their list is the ??? Either way I submitted/certified my list last night and ranked based on my desired programs not how I thought they might see me.I was told by some of my programs that I should consider ranking them and one specifically said that I was very sound and they were very impressed with me.

Me too! I think since I felt I'd be really happy there then maybe that's what made that interview the best?Yeah. I ranked 3 places and did it based on the program I liked the most with how I felt about the people, the opportunities, location, etc. It just so happens that the place I liked the most is also the place where I felt I had my best interview.
Sent our rankings. Didn't rank one of the candidates, he seemed like he didn't want to do a residency at all. Waste of my time.

Yup...finished ours today!
Threw out the ones that were weird, uninterested, communicated poorly, or lied during their interview/on their CV.
Woah. How did you find this out? That's odd. I hate when people are dishonest.
