In the MSAR there is a tab "specialty choices" that list the specialties chosen by students by percentage. I am looking at the Einstein list [and other schools I've seen the same issue] and something does not seem to make sense:
1) The percentages add up to 58%. Are 42% of students choosing specialties not listed (e.g. Radiation Oncology, Urology, PRM, Otolaryngology, Ophtomology)?
[Specialties listed: IM, EM, Psych, Peds, FM, Diag Rad, Anesth, ObGyn, Ortho, Gen Surg]
2) The data does not match the graph listed on the Einstein website, e.g. IM is listed on MSAR as choice of 17% but on match list it is 29%. Perhaps MSAR is listing those CHOSEN by students but not necessarily matched. [A little misleading I would think? It does clearly say chosen not matched but I know when I looked at it I just assumed it meant matched. Maybe I'm just an idiot.].
