Dear tocket,
Frankly i donot have much info on scramble,but from what i know there is no application for scramble thats why it is called scramble!!!
Following the match day NRMP publishes list of unfilled numbers in programmes which i belive will be accessible only be people who donot match,during next 24 hours you pick up the phone and sit beside the fax machine and try and send in you curriculum vitae and credentials to those programmes with unfilled
spots and try and convince them that ur eligible to fill their slots,and ur the best of the people who have not matched and if ur lucky they willl take u.
chances r that people hanging around in US are at advantage that they can contact programmes easily and rtry and convince them besides local fax doesnt cost much.
i filltry and find more info and post it later here.
GL

please visit nrmp website faq's
the link is:- http://www.nrmp.org/res_match/faq/ind_apps_faq.ht...
What happens if I do not match to a position?
Unmatched applicants who submit a certified rank order list will be given access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs at 12:00 pm noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week. Applicants may not contact unfilled programs prior to 12:00 pm noon that Tuesday.
What is the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs?
At 12:00 Noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week, the NRMP releases a list containing the names of programs that did not fill all of their positions in the Match. The list, which is accessible through the NRMP's Registration, Ranking, and Results (R3) System, is updated by the NRMP every hour to reflect the number of remaining unfilled positions. Qualified applicants will be able to access the list by logging into the R3 System using their AAMC ID and password and clicking the 'Unfilled Programs' link.
What is the Scramble?
The Scramble is the period of time during which unmatched or partially matched applicants attempt to obtain positions in unfilled programs. The Scramble begins at noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week after the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs is posted to the NRMP web site. Applicants who contact programs prior to noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week are in material breach of the Match Participation Agreement.
How will I know if I have matched to a program?
At 12:00 noon on Monday of Match Week, applicants can learn IF they matched to a program on their rank order list by logging in to the NRMP's Registration, Ranking, and Results (R3) System using their AAMC ID and password. Applicants will be presented with one of the following messages on the Applicant Options page:
1. Congratulations, you have matched!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who is "fully" matched, including
- Applicants who listed and matched to a categorical program. Applicants who listed and matched to preliminary and advanced programs.
Other conditions also apply. Applicants who listed only advanced programs on their certified rank order lists and did not list any preliminary positions on a supplemental rank order list will receive this message. Similarly, applicants who included only preliminary programs on their certified rank order lists will receive this statement. The matching algorithm considers an applicant "matched" if he/she lists only one program type on his/her certified rank order list. Applicants who receive this message will not have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs that is posted on Tuesday of Match Week.
2. Congratulations, you have matched to an advanced position but not a first year position!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who matched to an advanced position but did not match to a preliminary position listed on a supplemental rank order list. Applicants who receive this message will have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs and are eligible to participate in the post-Match Scramble for unfilled positions to obtain a preliminary position; however, applicants may not use the Scramble to obtain a categorical position or a different advanced position.
3. Congratulations, you have matched to a one-year position!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who matched to a preliminary position but did not match to an advanced position listed on a primary rank order list. Applicants who receive this message will have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs and are eligible to participate in the post-match Scramble for unfilled positions to obtain an advanced position; however, applicants may not use the Scramble to obtain a categorical position or a different preliminary position.
4. We are sorry, you did not match to any position!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who did not match to a program listed on either the primary or supplemental rank order list. For applicants participating as a partner of a couple, this statement also may be displayed if the applicant listed the 999999999 program code on the primary rank order list to indicate '"No Match". Applicants who receive this message will have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs and are eligible to participate in the post-Match Scramble for any category of unfilled positions.
5. You are NOT matched because you did not submit a certified rank order list!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who registered to participate in the Match but did not certify a rank order list prior to the rank order list certification deadline. Applicants who receive this message will have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs and are eligible to participate in the post-Match Scramble for any category of unfilled positions.
6. You are NOT matched because you are withdrawn!
This message will be displayed for any applicant who registered to participate in the Match but was withdrawn either by the medical school or by the NRMP. Applicants who were withdrawn by the NRMP because they obtained positions through another matching service will not have access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs.
What happens if I do not match to a position?
Unmatched applicants who submit a certified rank order list will be given access to the Dynamic List of Unfilled Programs at 12:00 pm noon eastern time on Tuesday of Match Week. Applicants may not contact unfilled programs prior to 12:00 pm noon that Tuesday.
What happens if I match to a program and decide not to accept the position?
The Match Participation Agreement to which you affixed y+our password when you registered for the Match states that a match between an applicant and a program creates a binding commitment to accept or offer a position. A decision not to honor that commitment is a material breach of the Agreement and will be investigated by the NRMP in accordance with the Policies and Procedures for the Reporting, Investigation, and Disposition of Violations of NRMP Agreements. Penalties may be levied if a violation is confirmed.
Under certain limited circumstances, the NRMP may grant an applicant or program a waiver of the Match commitment if honoring the Match outcome would result in undue hardship. Waivers must be requested from, and can be granted only by, the NRMP.
What happens if I match to a program and begin training, but then decide I want to leave the program to change specialties and/or accept another position?
The commitment a participant undertakes in the Match Participation Agreement is to accept the results of the Match. To meet that obligation, you must sign a residency contract and begin training at the program to which you matched. Your subsequent obligations are determined by the terms of that residency contract, not the Match Participation Agreement.
What happens if I ask the program for a waiver from my Match commitment?
The program cannot grant you a waiver from your Match commitment. Program directors must report all waiver requests to the NRMP, which will investigate to determine whether the waiver should be granted. If a waiver is not granted by the NRMP, you will be expected to accept the matched position. If your waiver is denied and you do not accept the position to which you matched, you will be prohibited from accepting a position in an NRMP match-participating program for one year, and the NRMP will initiate a violation investigation in accordance with the Policies and Procedures for the Reporting, Investigation, and Disposition of Violations of NRMP Agreements. If an NRMP match-participating program offers you a position to begin training during the one-year prohibition, that program also will be investigated to determine whether it violated the Match Participation Agreement.
I've signed a contract outside the Match. What happens now?
Under the terms of the Match Participation Agreement, an independent applicant who accepts a position outside the Match must withdraw immediately. Failure to do so is a material violation of the Agreement and will be investigated by the NRMP in accordance with the Policies and Procedures for the Reporting, Investigation, and Disposition of Violations of NRMP Agreements. Penalties may be levied if a violation is confirmed. No applicant can withdraw from the Match after the rank order list deadline.
What is the process if I'm investigated for a Match violation?
Subsequent to receiving a report of an alleged violation, the NRMP will contact the applicant and any other individuals with knowledge of the incident and prepare a Preliminary Report that documents the nature of the allegation.
If the results of the investigation indicate that a material violation has not occurred, the case will be closed and all parties will be so notified.
If the results of the investigation indicate that material violation occurred, the Preliminary Report will be distributed to the subject of the investigation, the individual who reported the violation, and any other parties who provided information material to the investigation for their review and to provide any additional information to the NRMP.
The Preliminary Report and any additional information will be reviewed by a Review Panel of the NRMP's Violations Review Committee, which will make the final determination of whether a violation occurred and, if so, determine the appropriate penalty. A Review Panel Report will be issued to the subject of the violation, who will have ten days to appeal the decision on procedural grounds or file a demand for arbitration. If the subject of the violation does not appeal or file a demand for arbitration, the Review Panel Report will become the Final Report, and it will be issued to all parties.
All Match registrants should review carefully The Policies and Procedures for the Reporting, Investigation, and Disposition of Violations of NRMP Agreements.

I have a question, too, please. Do those who have not submitted rank order lists (because they did not get any interviews), but are registered with the NRMP, get access to the dynamic unfilled positions list?
Thank you and good luck to everyone!
A.
