I'm excited to see where everyone will end up for residency! Good luck!
I'll be going to North Colorado Medical Center.
I know that a few people are going to MP II from CSPM but it is only word of mouth. Best of luck to those who are still looking for a program.Anyone have information on match lists/numbers of any of the schools?
looks good.Match results:
RESIDENCY POSITIONS: 571
POSITIONS FILLED (after MP I): 516 90.37%
POSITIONS UNFILLED: 55
APPLICANTS: 628
Class of 2017: 576
Previous classes: 52
MATCHED:
Class of 2017: 497
Previous classes: 19
UNMATCHED:
Class of 2017: 79
Previous classes: 33
I guess we don't know for sure how many didn't match until after MP II at the end of the week. There may be programs that don't take anyone.How do these numbers compare with previous year matches? Is the residency shortage getting better or worse?

Capping the class size for all 9 schools can be beneficial, i.e. <600 grads per year. But, this is a business so it probably won't happen.
It will be nice though that those who matched can make a thread about the dos and don'ts of matching for current and to be pod students!!

I have a question regarding what exactly is meant by unrealistic expectations from a students standpoint when applying to clerkships & residency positions. For example, two of the programs that I can see myself interested in is Mercy Regional Medical Center in Cleveland & Grant MC. I know that both of these programs have min GPA (3.0)/Class rank (50%). So, can I assume that if a student is right at the bubble of 3.0/50% that they could match at these programs or are the students matching there much higher say 3.5/upper 25%.
Last year there were 576 active positions and 550 new graduates. So there was a surplus of active positions last year compared to new graduates. So the extra seats ate into the residual graduates from previous years a bit.So if all the residency spots get filled, there's still going to be a guaranteed 57 people who don't get matched? I thought the residency shortage was over. Wasn't there a narrative of "we have a surplus of residency spots now"? Or am I reading this wrong
People say it all the time but you will more than likely match if you worked hard in class with a decent GPA, work hard on rotations, be teachable, don't tell a resident/attending they are wrong when they are most certainly correct, etc.
I tend to remember students that are helpful and teachable. If I ask a question and you don't know it, come back the next day or later on with the answer to show you looked it up. In surgery, help position the patient, get images up, put the tourniquet on, have local drawn up if applicable, pull your own gown/gloves, adjust the light, etc and etc.
Being "normal" goes a long way.

This year there were 571 active positions and 576 new graduates. So there wasn't a surplus of active positions. If you count all the approved positions then there should still be a surplus compared to new graduates, but not every approved position is active every cycle.
So far it looks like about 86% of new graduates have been placed at the end of Match Part I, but we'll have to see what happens after Match Part II (scramble). There's the potential for new graduate placement to end up anywhere from that 86% up to 96%. Although, yes, last cycle the placement rate for new graduates was 97.8% after Match Part II, but they also had 26 fewer graduates entering match last cycle and 5 more active spots and that 31 spot swing is pretty significant when we're dealing in the 500-600 range every year.
Also, for our class specifically Sweatshirt, enrollment was low so we'll probably see fewer new graduates entering match during our cycle than in the cycles directly preceeding ours.

Unfortunately there will be 57 who don't get a spot and will most likely apply next year. This will add to the number of applicants next year. The shortage problem is never going away. The problem isn't the number of residencies but rather the variability in the number of graduates per year.

I know the person and they are VERY happy.Whoever gets St. Joseph Indiana will be a lucky scrambler.
I visited and it was a GREAT program. I'll write a review on it in the upcoming days.Please elaborate. Is St Joseph Indiana a good program?

I noticed some programs seem to scramble a spot every year. Does that mean students are that disinterested?
Received the same email!!!!Just got an email from Barry saying they had 100% placement for CO 2017?
Good job BARRY!!Just got an email from Barry saying they had 100% placement for CO 2017?
100% match rate is great. BUT.... Remember.... Some of those students may not have matched into RRA certified programs. IMHO... I'd rather wait a year to match with an RRA program than get a PMSR program only.
Every year you wait to match only worsens your chances of placement. I've known people in this situation and it's scary.100% match rate is great. BUT.... Remember....

Fair point. I suppose whaNo you don't. You're best chance of getting a residency is the year you graduate. Ask some of the non-matched from previous years and ask if they'll take non-RRA programs from day one or continue to fight for a spot year in and year out and strike out.
here are the official numbers from CASPRCRIP

No doubt.Every year you wait to match only worsens your chances of placement. I've known people in this situation and it's scary.
Yes.So that 64 number that did not place.. That includes this year and prior applicants not placed?
Yes.
36 not placed from class of 2017
11 not placed from class of 2016
3 not placed from class of 2015
14 not placed from prior years
64 total
That's the point I was getting to. It sounds like if you're a current or future grad, your odds are good. We will only have a few that don't place. But if you don't get it in that year, or the subsequent- it seems like game over. And that 64 number will slowly grow. I don't imagine anyone from several years back will place if they haven't already.So unless more positions open up or there are fewer applicants for the next coming years, that 64 will continue to increase?
