this is all sort of sad if you look at prior year derm sheets or current year sheets of other specialties they are very filled out (including names)....

or people may be filling it out from match lists that have already been posted publicly..? Sad either way! <I added info to it this morning when it was refilled, and now it's gone again...?

I'm also hugely in favor of removing the AOA section from the match list. That's weirdly personal and not necessary. I think it should just be name, school, intern year. This is to see where people are not to try to figure out your match odds based on extremely limited info.

agree re: removing the AOA column. If people want AOA data they can look at charting the outcomes data

Disagree, you don't have to fill it if you don't want to, and if other people want to fill it out then they can - I don't at all see why we have to remove columns that have been part of this list for years. Having things like research year and PhD etc can help future applicants who are trying to understand what kind of applicants match. I know for sure it helped me.

Same. I think the column is totally fine. Not sure if I agree that it is weirdly personal either, at least for those who are AOA, considering that many schools, including mine, publicly announce who was inducted. It is a big accomplishment, and I think many programs like to see it/place an emphasis on it, among other things, so it is definitely helpful to know!
