Matching is a complex process. Who the program ranks may not be the same as how the programs are ranked by the applicants. Because of the complexities, not all of the positions are filled on Match Day. I assure you that for each unfilled spot, there are probably hundreds of well qualified applicants who did not match who will be fighting for it. I would also bet that all of the unfilled spots in the competitive residencies were filled within days, if not hours, of the vacancies being known. The bottom line is that not every single position will be filled by the match. G
