I'm going to use the Osteopathic Match for this example.
This year, both programs and applicants had to submit their final rank lists on January 28th. So basically from January 28th forward, all the information needed had been submitted (quotas, etc.). Yet, Match day is February 14th this year, over 2 weeks later. Since the Match process is just running a computer program, why isn't Match day the next business day, such as January 31st in this case? Why do they need over 2 weeks?
