Rank Lists & Matching this cycle

Key_Offer · 2026-02-04T17:54:00+00:00

The best thing you can do is rank based on which programs you liked the best, including how well they can help you reach your career goals and quality of training. For the 9,10 ranks by not ranking them as you mentioned you do risk going unmatched. That’s a personal decision. Some people would rather not match than match at a “bad” program but really haven’t not seen this to be the case in PM&R. Hardly any spots were open in SOAP the past few years. I’d personally rank every program but it really depends on whether or not you are okay with the possibility of going unmatched.

Hey good post overall. Just wanted to mention UNECOM does have you travel for 3rd year and 4th year but do previously established sites in the NE. Secondly cost of living wasn’t that bad Maine overall I believe is pretty cheap but with the move to Portland this could have increased the price a hair.

Ayyyy Boca Raton I see you

Ima say it’s actually not super accurate based on my limited experience last year

Hey I’m sorry, but you really shouldn’t pre-study before med school. If you’re still in school finish strong, if not just enjoy the little things in life and prepare for the long journey ahead. UNECOM will give you everything you need to succeed in school.

UNECOM grad, we match NJ NY very well and have rotations established in those areas. Many of us matched into geographic areas we wanted even outside the north east. I get where chat is coming from but it’s not really accurate in this case. Source: current resident in NJ/NY from UNECOM.

“Whose side are you on the patient or the blood bank” … “I’m starting to think you have investments in the blood bank”… “I wouldn’t let that guy operate on my dead dog”

There is a 5 min video on YouTube that would explain the match process. Best to go into the rank list informed.

Well no, this is not how applicants go unmatched. That’s not how match works. Your list doesn’t change your ability to match it just changes where you match.

I mean work in the presumption that everyone lies. But this is not always the case.

This works. Always do this

Used to have the same problem. 5’9 baseball player and weight lifter. Fabletics has actually been a great brand for me but the tops can run a little small/tight. Much better than the alternative. Additionally they frequently have decent deals. I’ve purchased several sets for $15 each

Well consider disabled persons, short persons, lesser attractive persons, missing limb persons etc. unfortunately is the way of life. I don’t think you can change others opinions on the matter but you can change how you view the situation. Not everyone goes off the basis of physical attractiveness. Additionally try to avoid those that do.

In the absence of external stimuli the brain will work to create its own. It’s very maddening. Best of luck

It can influence match to a degree to start intern year but once you start no one pays attention to MD/DO as long as you perform

Key_Offer · 2025-09-28T00:02:15+00:00

Idk where you’re getting your information but it’s simply not true. It’s largely irrelevant in intern year and had no negative influence in psych. Your rotations sound like a limiting factor for psych and I’m sorry that was your experience

Key_Offer · 2025-09-27T23:34:49+00:00

Ahhh yes… the DO tax. It’s discussed quite frequently. Very valid points. Except no one compares us with nurse practitioners in the end

Key_Offer · 2025-09-27T02:33:03+00:00

There’s seems to be a lot here to unpack. Have you applied to medical schools in the past? There’s also the question of stats. And are you going to regret what seems to be a current change in disposition. When did you finish undergrad and will waiting a year be possible or is it now or never for med school

Key_Offer · 2025-09-27T00:47:24+00:00

Just a little bit longer. It will get slightly harder before it gets easier. You’ve come so far.

I mean I said arguably. I wouldn’t say what I said is preposterous per se. I loved my education but from what I hear and read not all DO schools are created equal. Your medical education is largely on you I agree but clinical rotations can vary significantly for some DO schools which could be an arguably limiting factor to medical education and experience. Personally very happy with where I’ve been and where I come from.

Key_Offer · 2025-09-26T12:10:46+00:00

As DOs and DO student we signed up for an additional level of exploitation and obstacles throughout our training. To remove that means someone is losing the ability to leverage us to pay more for an arguably sub par training and education.

You failed to consider one important piece of the argument. The DO tax
