I'm not sure how much value this thread will have when there is an enormous bank of statistical information about the whole process online without needing to poll a select few.

I ranked 11 out of the 12 programs I interviewed at. I matched at my 1st choice. This was for the 2016 OMS match.

Ranked 4 programs, only applied and interviewed for 6. Got into my first choice. My best advise would be only rank someplace you would seriously consider.
