Do the ACGME institutions call student about rank lists? I thought that was an AOA specific thing?

A friend of mine directly asked the PD where she would be ranked
Although not needed, just sent an SDN Thank You Amazon Gift Card to @gamerEMdoc for that post up there. Thanks for your help in this "interesting" time.
To further confuse things, these newly accreditted 3 year ACGME programs are listed as dually accreditted by the AOA, even though they can't participate in the AOA match. This is because the AOA still does accredit them, since they still have residents in their original four year curriculum. But any new resident matching in will start in the ACGME 3 year curriculum, hence why they can't participate in the AOA match.
Can you clarify this? On the interview trail, I have encountered a few programs that are historically AOA, got their ACGME accreditation, chose to become 3 years, but are participating in the AOA match. How are they doing that?

Thank you!!!My understanding is, the AOA granted an exception for programs that got accredited earlier this year to continue to participate in the AOA match this year since it occurred the same academic year. In the next match in 2018, those programs will not be eligible to participate in the AOA match. Then again, I suppose the AOA could change their rules again. I mean, they have to be getting freaked out about the number of programs they have left in their match. That's why I assume they granted the exceptions this year in the first place.
Just a quick word of advice, which I think has been echoed here before, but a good reminder:
1. If a program contacts you, you are under no obligation to tell them anything about your rank preferences. If they pressure you to do so, you can report their program and they can lose their ability to participate in the match.
2. If you try and pressure a program for details, they can report you as well, ending your match eligibility and ruining your career before it starts
3. Either side can freely admit anything they want as long as there is no soliciting from the other side
4 . If you hear from a program, no matter what they tell you, it doesn't guarantee they are ranking you at the top of their list. And they may not be lying. The top of the list may be 10-30 people given how many slots they have and spots they interviewed. So if you are ranked 25 in a place that ranks 100, you are pretty high. That doesn't mean you are guaranteed to match there. So never, ever, ever make the mistake of only ranking a few programs because you got good feedback. Rank as many programs that you could see yourself going to. If you'd rather go to a program than scramble, I'd probably rank that program. If you'd rather scramble into FP than go to a program, then don't rank that program.
5. If you don't hear from anyone, or only a few places, don't freak out. Some places may call everyone on their list, some may call a few, and some may call none. Whether you get calls or not, its not going to mean you will or will not match in EM.
6. If you get no calls, remember, most people in the middle of many programs rank list match some where. Most programs don't match the majority of their candidates in the top 1/3 of their list. So again, if programs call the top tier of their list, that still leaves the middle of the list where most programs still match many of their candidates.
And lastly... you only have to do this once. Take a deep breath. And remember, next job interview, people will be flying you there and wining an dining you and begging you to sign a six figure contract. It will all be over soon, and worrying won't make any difference. Put your cards on the table and go all in. Its all you can do. Good luck!
Is that true of the ACGME match? That most programs go to about the middle of their rank list?
If I hadn't just given you a GC reward for awesome posts, I'd do it right now.
Gift Card.Agree with the sentiment; but what's a "GC" award? GameChampion?
Gift Card.
Dude, are you like 87yo? The number of abbreviations, memes and pop culture references that go over your head are staggering for someone who spends as much time on the interwebs as you do.
You left out redtubeUhh, we give out gift cards for awesome posts? If that's the case, where is MY goddamned gift card !? Huh, mister mod?
You have a point. We must not run in the same web circles.

I withdrew from the AOA match and will just be doing the ACGME one. I got one of those "you are highly ranked" emails, so should I contact them and tell them that I have withdrawn? I figured they checked that kind of stuff....

I did Aug and SeptI'm a current 3rd yr looking to apply to EM next yr. For those of you who have received AOA EM interviews this year, when was the latest slot that you did your audition to get SLOES since AOA opens around 7/15? So far I have 2 EM electives scheduled for Aug and Sept, and still trying to find one for July. Thanks!
