Thank you to whoever posted this link, I added a tab in our Google Spreadsheet called "Outcomes" to include the explanations right next to each measure so that it's easier for everyone to read and actually understand what the data means. Good luck to everyone!

What do people think of the programs who had unmatched spots? Strange? Did they just have terrible impressions on everyone during interview day or just not rank well?

My opinion: Some of them looked to be flukes (Case, Dartmouth, maybe Tufts), others were new starting programs (Temple), the rest of them I wasn't really surprised at going unfilled since they were lower-tier Derm programs (Howard, VCU, Oklahoma, UTHSC San Antonio, etc.). I honestly think they got too cocky with their rank list and there are only so many top-tier Derm applicants (in a pool that is so strong already to begin with).

As someone with inside knowledge on one of the "lower-tier" unmatched programs last year, I can tell you they both got too cocky and ran into some weather issues that resulted in cancellations by a couple of interviewees and left a bad taste in interviewees mouths based on how the program handled some of the interview day logistics.| <-- You the MVP thank you! x2

Any thoughts on VCU? I know it's a small program but what's its reputation?
