ive heard some programs rank about 80% to 90% of those they plan to interview. it isnt cheating to rank more people than you have places, its just smart on their part. for an applicant what matters is where you are ranked: whether first on the list or last on the list, since there are only a limited number of places available.

Some programs will rank everyone that they interview - they just won't tell you where. I have to finalize my match list on Feb 22, just as candidates do. The end of January is when I have to let the NRMP know how many rank spots. Good luck
