How do residencies rank?
After registering for the Match and completing interviews, applicants submit to the NRMP a list of programs, ranked in order of preference, where they wish to train.

How do you tell if a residency program likes you?
It’s a chance for programs to get to know you, and vice versa. Residency programs learn a lot about you through your ERAS application. This includes letters of recommendation, USMLE scores, relevant experiences, and more. If they like what they see, they’ll invite you for an interview.
Can I rank programs I did not interview at?
Yes. However, a program is not likely to rank an applicant who has not been interviewed and thus no match will occur.
How many residency interviews should I expect?

How many residency interviews should I go on?
You want to go on at least 8-10 interviews. You can consider canceling some interviews if you have more than 8-10 scheduled. We recommend that you discuss this with your DOM advisor. Try to give programs as much lead time as possible so someone else can have the interview spot.
How do programs make their rank order list?
Program directors create rank order lists (ROLs) by entering applicants’ NRMP or AAMC ® ID numbers directly on the ROL or by utilizing the applicant search feature.
