with 1 interview and others can't sleep at night because they only have 8. I have posted the link below for the most objective data that we have right now. nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcomes2009v3.pdf" target=_blank>http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcome

last year everyone with 8 or more contiguous ranks matched... http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcome oh, but don't forget it's subjective and every candidate is different, etc, etc.

Excellent. Unfortunately, most of the data is useless. The only sure thing you can conclude is that higher Step 1 score increases your chances of being matched, but even a step score

218-220. In terms of your question, I think the best data comes from "charting outcomes in the match" which is a publication by the people who run the residency match. http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcome Step 1 scores for each specialty (Includes median 50%) Gas 215- 235 Derm- 232-251 Rads 230-248 EM 209-235 FM 200-228 Surgery - 211-237 Medicine 211-240 med/peds 211-241 neurosurg- 230-250

views on the matter. Anyway, I'm sure that some of you have looked into this, but since I've been getting some PMs about this, I thought I would post it. http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcome It's a well-written article from the NRMP (National Residency Matching Program) that outlines the average USMLE scores, profiles, research experiences, etc. for US and independent grads for residency matching

http://www.nrmp.org/data/chartingoutcome Take a look at page 98 and 99 to see the breakdown of people matched and probability of matching per # of ranks. Very informative. For US grads the probability of matching is nearly 99% after 10-11 ranks so anything after does not really accomplish much. This report is a treasure trove of info...

to be one of those what are my chances thread, however... You might also want to check out the 2009 SDN EM Match Survey (link in my sig VVV) and these results from the NRMP .

(VERYSPECIALPLACE ) Could you clarify where you read about those 4 people? I had gotten my numbers from the original 2009 charting outcomes PDF that came out shortly after the match. I only have

Regardless, 8 did seem to be the magic number. To the OP, it's been three years since I applied but I remember hearing from some places through december. After christmas is when I stopped
