hey gang - i've been having a few discussions lately about programs that are on that famous "unfilled" list the day of the scramble. When you look at some of the programs that go unfilled, it is quite shocking to see some of the university/specialty slots available . . . competitive fields at highly ranked universities still go "unfilled". in any given field there are top tier programs that are unfilled. it seems that this could be because they were extra picky and didn't want to fill if they didn't feel good matches were made, or is it because of reserved positions for people who contract outside the match? it seems that in the latter case the program shouldn't come up as having an unfilled position since they report what they have available before entering the match.
anyway, does anyone know what this means and can explain it to me? is it simply that not enough candidates ranked these programs?
thanks
p.s. i tried the search function for this question but the results were not convenient at all
