I know this question has been asked before but I'm still confused...if most match schools ONLY will consider you if you only apply to match schools...then who applies to the non match schools? I'm torn because there are programs on both sides of the fence that I like. But if I only apply to non match schools am I limiting my chances too much?

Not all schools that participate in match restrict you from applying to non-match. Only certain schools say you must only apply within the match system. You have to determine if those schools are important enough for you that you’d give up certain non-match schools which may be appealing.

Is anyone facing issues with ADEA PASS reapplication?

True...I just like several of the ones that say they only interview match exclusive applicants. Its a tricky spot to be in

On the note about match exclusive programs, most of the programs mention that they participate in match, but do not in their website further clarify if they participate in match only (exclusively) or not. Can we safely presume that these programs are okay with applicants to apply to both non-match and match programs?

Of course if the programs say that they only take applicants participating in match only, the answer is clear.

I'm also wondering if they'll ask about this in interviews. Of course you could lie, but if you accept a non-match position it probably doesn't look good. On the other hand, telling them in the interview that you have applied to non-match might not be a good look either.

Correct. I assumed a program was exclusively match ONLY if they stated it on their website somewhere or on pass.
