if this is about the harvard match, that was from a friend from prior year if it helps, and it's not the norm just a good example of why the match results are not one dimensional

I have a friend who ranked harvard #1 last year and too didnt match, known someone who matched there and didnt even rank them top 3, its kinda messed up ngl

i matched at a t5 that was not my dream program, but probably was someone elses. but that also happened to me, yah know

on a similar note, it stings coming on here and seeing people trash the program i matched at for no clear reason when im really excited to have matched...

who cares what other people think, youll never meet a hater doing better than you

NRMP really should just say that it's program favored and stop getting our hopes up

erm, the anecdotes above clearly show that it is applicant favored

it's people coping with the program they matched in or coping with being unmatched

derm resident here - people are nitpicking derm programs so much on here to an unhealthy level. People trashed my program on here but my experience with my program has been completely the opposite of what people were saying. I wonder if some element of it is either jealousy, or people trying to get others to rank the program lower. Either way, pay it no mind and celebrate that you will become a dermatologist and living the dream

love this, thank you!

also salty away rotators or rejects will have the most negative shit to say. hating from outside the club when they can't even get in
