IntroductionThe National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) conducted a survey of the directors of all programs participating in the 2008 Main Residency Match. The primary purpose of the survey was to shed light on the factors that program directors use in both (1) selecting applicant to interview and (2) ranking applicants for the Match.

The survey was fielded during the 19 days between the rank order list deadline and Match Week so that program match outcomes would not influence respondents' answers.

The survey solicited information on:

• The number of applications received, screened, and reviewed, as well as the number of applicants interviewed and ranked

• The percentage of interview slots offered prior to the November 1 release date of the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE/Dean's Letter)

• Whether the program typically interviews and ranks specific applicant groups

• The use of test scores in considering which applicants to interview, and

• The factors used for both interview selection and for ranking applicants.

The overall response rate for the 19 largest specialties detailed in this report was 55.6 percent; and ranged from a high of 70.0 percent for Emergency Medicine to a low of 39.0 for Transitional Year (see table below).

This report presents preliminary results on selected items from the survey by specialty. The NRMP hopes that program directors, school officials, and applicants find these data useful as they prepare for and participate in the Match. _______________ The NRMP's data reporting and research activities are guided by its Data Release and Research Committee. NRMP data and reports can be found at: www.nrmp.org/data/.
