Yeah, after that anesthesiology match fiasco a few years ago (at Kentucky IIRC) where they accidentally ranked all their PGY1 applicants in their PGY2 slots and vice versa (so nobody matched there one year, and it rippled to all the other programs), and nobody at NRMP did or could do anything about it, what's the point of having so much time? If people actually went over the matches by hand and that took 20 days, fine. I too heard the "20 minutes to run, 20 days to check" thing.But it's all computerized from what I can tell, and it's not like they need to rent computer time on a
PDP-10. You think now they could cut that time in half and still have days extra.
How's the Epi MPH going? Studying anything interesting? I too often find myself daydreaming about my #4 vs. #5, etc, even when I should be thinking about epi stuff.
