These things are cyclical. People last year got scared off b/c of the competitiveness. As a result, less "mediocre" (relatively) applicants. This year, people will think it was so easy to match, and more people will jump into the fray again. Basically, if you want to do it, go hard. If you're marginally interested, it's always tough to match, b/c they can see it.

i think this is very accurate. Basically programs not creating long enough rank lists. ER got arrogent a few years ago and the same thing happened. they did fine in the scramble of course. time will tell.
