Hello there,

I have this hypothetical Q about the match algorithm. If you go to an x number of interviews and suppose you do very well in all, and you're liked by the programs, and they think you're gonna rank them very highly, and suppose every program ranks you very highly on their ROL, do you get a shot at getting your real number one choice?

Best of luck to everyone!

If you rank your #1 choice as no. 1, and your #1choice hospital ranks you as their #1, you will get your #1 choice!

Lol! Yes, you will have a shot

Good luck!!
