Can someone explain to me why the match list tab is going to unlock in January…? Like we won't know who matches until March lol. Am I missing something??

some programs like Stony Brook and NYU have early guaranteed spots

Stony Brook has a 3 year accelerated MD program that guarantees a residency of their choice spot to those students, not sure if there are any Stony Brook 3 year students going into derm this year though

i guess its no different than 1 spot at every institution being held for home students

the difference being those specific NYU/Stony Brook/etc folks generally already know they have a spot by early fall of their last year (the process happens before match)

I think the NYU early matches actually find out as early as summer of their last year so they don't even end up applying to other programs in ERAS
