National governments and multibillion dollar corporations make careless errors in their web interfaces (and now apps) all the time. This really shouldn't surprise anyone unless you know almost nothing about computers. They don't operate on magic. Considering that the algorithm is likely at least a couple thousand lines of code, there's bound to be a mistake in there. The real question is if it's a relevant mistake that will lead to an error (as it did in this case) for the end-user.

Agree. And it very much depends on the communication between the person in charge and the coder. If it's "make it so this part doesn't display until Friday", that means one thing. The coder may not know how important it is to keep that section hidden.

That's a good point as well. In fact - given how much personal info the AMA/AAMC have on most of us - I'd like to hope that's the case rather than carelessness.
 
This is real, if you see it says in the code "populate results:false". Some programmer at the nrmp better start packing now.
 
Got my first choice..... was skeptical so I called a friend who matched.... he got his first choice.... so I became more skeptical, called someone with access to +20 students and she told me very few got their first choice, so it looks like it's super legit and everyone's celebrating.
 
The people I know are all coming back with very realistic results. We got our #1 so I'm certainly hoping it's true.
 
how do you figure said:
any musclestud IT bros who can play devil's advocate and argue why this ISN'T legit?

Mostly probably the result are true.. but may not.. you cant advocate one to other to make you sure they are... unfortunately .. I would bet few thousands that the result is correct...

Unfortunately some Iranian idiot already posted the way to the NRMP's facebook page... so probably there is no way how to save the bug until next year

Let's link this thread to reddit so those neckbeards can investigate the veracity
 
I am too scared to check....
Will the NRMP find out if I looked at the source code?

Not sure how they could? But I am far from an internet expert. My understanding was that your browser views the source code every time you look at a website - it just conveniently translates it into a normal appearing website for you.

Yes b/c I'm going to report you them... omfg ... no .. there is no way to find out you're looking at that code every time you log in to their web just your browser shows it in graphic way not in raw source... wait till Friday if you're scared omg.😱

You can send a thank you note to Dr. Hamed Azimi ... :-/
 
This is definitely legit. You can tell based on certain functions in the html code. Also they cannot tell if you are viewing the code because it is just a different way to display the information in your browser. The host can only see that you the client logged in to the webpage.

can you or someone explain: "populate results:false"

ugh i logged on too late to make use of this, im guessing though that this isn't violation by just viewing the source code?
 
Any way to login have access to cached data or is that impossible?

If I had to guess, there will be a BS statement about how the code contained an error but not the actual match results. And then on Friday everyone who looked at it will confirm that it was correct.

"populate results:false" means that the tables aren't populated. On Friday the html code will switch to "populate results:true" and voila you will see the programs.
 
With Opera browser for example you can still get it if it cached the data.. but with IE or Chrome I guess it's gone now...

that just says the you get some data from database (make a query) and that these data (ie your rank) will not be shown by browser but hold in source code... whether the query was really for your matched rank no one here can tell for sure
 
I'm a strong applicant, had Supplemental and Main program, matched both at my #1's. It's real.

Seems like an odd way to program, to hide in the source code a result that is not to be released until a later date. Any programmers who can comment on this? What would or could NRMP have done differently? They have no one to blame but themselves...
Click to expand...
Beginners mistake... or as someone said.. they just didn't tell to coder how important is not only to not show in browser but not show it at all... it's not a problem to change the code to not showing anywhere until Friday using different code tags or so...

Without a doubt
 
Is there anyway to view cached source code on chrome?
 
I mean why in the world that they can't let us know where we matched into. I don't understand the reasoning behind it. Can someone please explain what catastrophic consequences would entailed?

The idea as I understand it is to treat all matched applicants the same. This is a good idea. Folks who match in the SOAP have their match results reported at the same time as those who matched in "Round 1".
You might argue that SOAPers didn't match and can suck it, but I think that striving to treat folks similarly is justified in this situation.

Absolutely agree with this though I would say in general 3 weeks from rank day to match day is too long.

To add another piece of evidence that this was likely true information, I applied this year but withdrew and am delaying a year due to timeline issues related to my SO's concurrent job search. I tried this an hour ago and the search for "allprograms" didn't result in anything for me.
 
i wonder how long the site will be down….. i missed it by 5 minutes!
 
They can't really keep the site down for long though, right? People do have to SOAP.
 
Their twitter says the site is down until 11:30 in order to prepare for SOAP

The whole thing is stupid. They've delayed the process way too long already. For example, the list of unmatched programs by region was created on March 17th (look at the top of the document) therefore things have been pretty much finalized since then. There is no reason to draw this process out as long as they do. All it does it make it extremely difficult for us that have spouses not in medicine/need to find jobs/apply for bar apps/etc. in whatever city we match to. Plus finding a house between now and starting (with some time to move/repaint) is going to be a huge pain.
 
The coder must have been an idiot.

Hiding sensitive information in html or js is a super noob mistake.


I wonder if all our SSNs are equally viewable? brb....buying lifelock.

So when the page comes back at 11:30, odds that the code is still there?
