    I was just curious how students from non-AOA schools like Yale and Mayo are objectively compared to students from the AOA-schools in the matching process.

    Harvard doesn't have aoa and all three schools mentioned do not have any trouble with the match....

    AOA should be abolished. It creates unnecessary competitiveness among people who are already inherently competitive in a field that should discourage competitiveness and think only of the patient. There are other ways to evaluate applicants for residency slots.
