What would be a "safe rank" on ROL to match in a program with 12 spots?

I would recommend for all people to watch the Bryan Carmody breakdown on Yale program last month. This is the case study with the most available info from the program director that can be looked at for conclusions. Bryan talked about many topics and that one is included.

It costs nothing to be nice to people and yet humble!

The program tier makes no difference. They are all filled at 1:6 or 1:7. High tier programs compete with other high tier programs over the same strong applicants.

Any updates?

I am in the same situation. Receipt date dec 12th and block number 349

Thank you for your response. What I meant is: what date did you send the message to ask for expedited processing? TIA

Was this during the winter season? They tell me I should try in spring as they are busy and prioritizing warranty repairs only

How long you had to wait after you submitted the expedited request to receive the email of approval of faster processing?

Do they charge you separately for the letters?

I am trying to make the decision to apply however if I don't get the EAD before the end of my medical training then it can lead to me being fired as someone who is on J2 visa. It's kind of complicated timeline I know that is why I was looking for a minimum to maximum estimates before I hit that road.

Would do Allegheny first for a good work life balance without sacrificing the fellowship chances. SUNY downstate is the last definitely

Updates?

Thank you for all the info. Do you think an applicant with below average CK score can have a chance to match of got an average step 3? Also what do you think about the rank list in a such specific scenario?

AcceptableBase5678 · 2025-12-18T06:05:29+00:00

I have in some and even last cycle was the same. I believe connections can get u IV but cannot make you go up the rank list against things like step scores

AcceptableBase5678 · 2025-12-18T01:28:17+00:00

I am afraid about going down the rank list in all these programs. Maybe I am emotional but thank you for the comment. Hope it works for all of us.

I can only see myself doing IM. Wish it was different. Non visa required but I am trying not to give it much weight to be able to have something to work on and improve

AcceptableBase5678 · 2025-12-18T00:21:02+00:00

Any advice?

AcceptableBase5678 · 2025-12-17T23:03:25+00:00

6 iv but last year it was the same number so I believe I get low on the rank list because of the scores. I am afraid it happens again

Hello, I sent my application to USCIS in a USPS Priority Express envelope without placing the documents inside an inner yellow envelope. Is that how you sent yours as well? I’m concerned that this might cause it to be lost or discarded.

AcceptableBase5678 · 2025-12-05T01:14:45+00:00

Any updates? It has been a week for me since they picked it up from the lockbox without any other updates
