you guys get the email?
"Earlier today the NRMP received notice that some Main Residency Match applicants were able to view their match results before the results were released if they right-clicked their Home Page in the Registration, Ranking, and Results (R3) system. "
Sounds to me like they're confirming that the info there was in fact accurate.
Wow, just wow! This is a bid deal, especially for the ones that did not get to see there match results. What kind of legal recourse would they have since the NRMP violated the contract?
Legal recourse? Are you kidding me?! Physicians rail against unfounded lawsuits and the litigious mentality of this country and you're worried about what the legal options are for people who missed out on a rare sneak peek? Lol. Life's not always fair, no need to consult a lawyer because of it.Wow, just wow! This is a bid deal, especially for the ones that did not get to see there match results.

Just so we're all clear then: The Match Day is a useless tradition made irrelevant by the internet. And telegram.
I didn't get the email either.anyone else not get the email?

I missed the boat on this-gah. Is there any way to do the cached page trick people have mentioned if the last time I logged on to NMRP was when I entered my choices? not tech-saavy, sorry.
Anyone regret seeing it?
3 supporters so far. Hope and change! Hope and change!
Nope.Anyone regret seeing it?
I don't expect it did. I'd bet the results weren't revealed until the time that the Match email was sent out.I went through the code over the weekend...that did not exist then.
I kind of do tookinda, yeah
May I ask why? Because you didn't like your match, because you sacrificed the surprise for match day, because of guilt, or other reasons? I'm curious as I definitely wanted to try it last night, but decided against.kinda, yeah
I'd say it's mostly because I was not totally thrilled about my match.May I ask why? Because you didn't like your match, because you sacrificed the surprise for match day, because of guilt, or other reasons? I'm curious as I definitely wanted to try it last night, but decided against.
Has anyone been trying to see if they can recover a cached version from Chrome? if you type chrome://cache into your browser you can see what Chrome has cached, and there are clearly elements from the r3 site when i logged in last night, but I can't get much further than that
I'm sure many applicants thought the NRMP was hacked. Especially those without much knowledge of computers."No applicant was able to view the results of another applicant, and no applicant was able to view the personal information of another applicant."
I'm not sure why this part of the email is even there. The entire ritual is one huge invasion of privacy. I don't even have the option of withholding my results, although at least I can skip the sideshow Friday and log in from home. (Haven't looked. Still debating whether to raid my cache.)

Perhaps they could have, but I guarantee you that PDs don't have all the free time in the world (like an MSIV) to figure out where people matched before match day...I'm curious tho, if this hack worked for us....then could it have worked for PD's and maybe they got to see who matched at their program early too???

I guess PCs have some free time on their hands...I could have told you the answer if they hadn't shut the site down when they did. I was standing in my PC's office and told her about the whole thing; we def would have checked the site together if it hadn't been taken down already.

Because I'd guess they read either this thread, or the thread on reddit, where a bunch of people expressed concerns about the security of their personal information?
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.
This is an absolute data security nightmare. As someone with experience in web development and database administration, there were multiple levels of failure (this might be a little techy):
1. The live database (connected to "web") contained the finalized data. This is a major design flaw, and huge security risk (to internal mistakes and external attack). The live db should not have time sensitive data until minutes/seconds before the deadline.
2. The status page queried ALL the data. Once the data is queried, it's vulnerable to exposure.
3. Relying on "hiding" plain-text data in javascript, always a bad idea.
Tsk tsk, at least they made match week memorable!
You forget many medical students aren't very tech savvy, as you would think outside of typing and clicking on EMR on rotations. I was always amazed at the women who made it into medical school, who I swear couldn't even open an attachment without needing help. On the flip side, it's a great way to meet girls - helping a damsel in distress and all.
I hope this ridiculous misogyny is just really a poorly executed attempt at deadpan.
