Seems different in several ways from the medical residency matching process:
- In that system, students and schools rank each other after the interview process, so the student knows which schools are potentially interested in it.
- In that system, the programstrong text ranks the students, which is sounds like is not the case here.
- in that system, there is a fixed and finite number of spots at each program, so each program is more assured of getting the number of residents it’s seeking.
