Lucky for anyone who put colorado or tufts #1<why, -- because they are gauranteed to match their #1 choice <not if they were unranked!
<so even new programs like st lukes fully matched but not tufts or colorado? wth
I bet the new programs interview a ton of people to ensure they don't go unmatched. Like maybe 20:1 vs normally programs are 10:1. CU only had like 4?:1
feel like that still doesn't make sense tho right? like UNC interviews 5:1 and I think of them similarly to colorado. just a strange ass situation << Sometimes programs overshoot and interview all 260+ AOA from top 10 schools who all end up at Harvard or UCSF. That's probably what happened to DEnver
yeah also if they did only interview 19 people and have 6 spots then they're closer to 3:1
wow 3:1!? that's.... not a smart move.
this situation is just super unlucky and unfortunate because it confirms a program's worst fear and will discourage programs next year from saving everyone time and money by interviewing fewer applicants/spot
it was an insanely low number of interviews... do 1:5 if you are so confident (which a lot of the ivy leagues do), not 1:3. that's literally idiotic << Not even the top 5 could get away with a 1:3 ratio... Agreed 1:5 is the lowest even the best programs should drop to
St. Lukes Interviewed 120 people for 2 spots, It was impossible for them not to match
LOL WHAT << They thought they would get approved for 4 spots, so they did 120 which is 30:1, then a month ago they sent an email saying "sike" we just have 2 spots <- interviewed there and got such bad vibes from the program. DNR. <- just curious what your bad vibes were, as I also interviewed there but didn't see any red flags except for them being brand new
very few people go unranked, you have to be super shitty, most people aren't super shitty
