Is anyone taking the match list as a factor in deciding where to go? Looking down the matchlists at places I've interviewed at, Yale has the most successful matches. They have an insane number of people going into Dermatology and orthopedics for a class size of 100, and all at amazing hospitals (not to mention a few of the other super-competitive subspecialties like neurosurgery, optho, and otolaryntology). The match lists at some of the other schools are impressive but not quite as good. But then reputation of Yale med. isn't quite as good as say Duke or Penn med; so then which is more important, the rep. or the match success? isn't it the match success an indication of how well they educate their students?
