Thread: Match List at Technion

Can someone post the match list this year at the Technion? I hear it comes out in a day or two. There are approximately 30 students in the class. Let's see where they are going!

Strangely, I have been seeing lots of Google advertisements for Technikon (one is attached). It says "USMLE curriculum". Just wondering - if they have a USMLE curriculum, how come they have/had all these problems with people taking the USMLE?

Good question.

Tyler/Studentinprogram/Dawkins/student9/crazyrinat/whoever you are ... its getting old.
We are all sorry for what you have endured. But please try to understand:
1. March 17th is Match day. it is March 14th. is this another not being able to add and subtract numbers problem? or is it just hard to keep track of which day of the week it is it is, when you are busy keeping track of your numerous aliases/avatars/ whatever you want to call them?
2. EVERY current Technion student who has posted anything on this website in response to your crossposts/doubleposts/spam across this board, HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE DISMAL 2010 MATCH RESULTS. Moreover, we all appreciate the fact that our program has its shortcomings (not unlike any other medical school). Instead of coming online and posting about them obsessively on blogs all day though, we actually actively try to make changes and improve things, for ourselves, and for future students.

to whoever you are (and- FWIW, we all know who you are, so you can keep posting under new usernames every other week, but we are not that dumb), sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, and you should just quit while you are (somewhat?!) ahead. As Mark Twain once wrote.... It is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool.....
gnite.

Please don't accuse me of being other people who joined ValueMD in 2006, 2007, and 2009 and 2011. And please don't falsely accuse me of running a blog where current students and alumni have posted dozens of times going back over a year of their negative experiences here with absolutely no proof other than I have cited it?

Because you can cite Mark Twain doesn't make you right, or perceptive.


Secondly, people know whether they matched or not already - and it is known here how few people even entered the match this year - so one can easily see any success or failure already.

Mark Twain also said:
Get the facts first. You can distort them later.

Peace.

As a fourth year student who is matching this year, I think it is important to note that *EVERY* person who applied for the match from this year in the States has officially matched or pre-matched (we got the emails today!), including students from last year's class that were applying for the first time.

My response to the people (or person?) so obsessed with our matching rate: how many medical schools can brag of a 100% matching rate? And while I am well aware that this number is 1/3 of our class, I will assume that when those people who did not apply for the match this year---many of whom are doing it for personal reasons---they, too, will match.

I am not going to write here that our program is perfect---there is a lot of room for improvement. However, a lot of the problems that my class encountered do not exist anymore, and the strengths of an incredible research facility, great clinical teaching, low tuition cost, and being situated in the always-beautiful, never-boring State of Israel make this a great place to study medicine. I encourage anyone considering attending here to send me a message if you have any questions.

Hurray!! Congratulations rofeh26 to you and your classmates!!!

Facts allegedly established:
17% of the students matched or prematched from the Class of 2010 in 2010.
33% of the students matched or prematched from the Class of 2011 in 2011.

Question:
How many people from the Class of 2010 will have a residency this year?
How many students matched or prematched from the Class of 2010 in 2011?

Is this a four-year or a five-year program?

Excellent questions Dawkins. Maybe it is a 4 year one hundred grand trip to cockroach ridden Bat Galim with a 5th bonus year when one doesn't match?

With those alleged (probably inflated) statistics- how does that compare to a Caribbean school?

Just a reminder. Stay civil and use only one account so this thread does not get removed.

Questions:
How many students and what percentage from the Class of 2010 will have a residency in 2011?
How many students and what percentage matched or prematched from the Class of 2010 in 2011?
Is this a four-year or a five-year program?
Is this an American or a modified Israeli program?

With regards to the 33% of students matched or prematched from the Class of 2011 in 2011, it is only 33% because only 33% of the class even entered the match (due to various reasons that have been explained ad naseam on this forum) . This leads to a 100% match rate since if 33% entered the match and 33% DID get matched, then that equals a 100% match rate. You kind of need to take the numbers in context and not obscure facts. With a 100% match rate this year, I personally feel that this shows that the improvements that have been made to the program indicate that its students can really succeed while at TeAms and that it is not a horrible program which you clearly feel. (even though you no longer go here!)
