Information from this website is not reliable. I saw that some programs did not have any unfilled positions last year, and yet they say they did have unfilled positions.
Also, be careful because I subscribed with them to get their program information list and they charged my credit card 8 times.  And I could never reach them through the phone number they had posted on their website. They sent me an email stating that they had some problems with my credit card because it was not an US issued credit card and they were not able to charge it and requested me to provide another credit card number; but then I found out that they did charge my card (the one that supposedly they were having problems with), not only once but 8 times!!! But fortunately, my credit card service voided all those extra charges.
And the information they had about some of the programs did not agree with the information I got first hand by calling some programs. So a wise advise for those participating in the next Match would: Call the programs by yourselves, which may take you some time, but will save you money and probably headaches and disappointments.
All these websites that profit by supposedly offering program lists and/or scramble services, etc. are all scams.

Harbor-UCLA? No way. They have mostly Harvard and UCLA graduates. It's a dream place for AMG.

Probably the most reliable statement that will be made all month! Strong work!

You should be able to find the official NRMP Match results for at least three years back. Take your programs of interest and check their (un)filled status.
On the other hand, the field has changed a lot in recent years, and what seemed to be programs with perpetual unfilled positions may suprise you this year.

Harbor UCLA had unfilled positions (at least in Ob/gyn) during the past 3-4 years....

Dear silenced, M.D., please quote me the programs that had no scramble positions last year and are listed on our site; I will investigate this and come back with either a correction and an apology for incorrect information or a NRMP quote listing the positions the same way I quoted UCLA above.
I believe we have a case of mistaken identity. We never had billing problems, especially in the way you described. I can admit a possibility of wrong billing (no system is perfect) but if you contacted us pointing out a mistake, the problem should have been taken care of. Are you sure you had business with our site and not somebody else?
I have the same comment about program requirements, even though it wasn’t the subject of my original post. All information that we have is substantiated with quotes from e-mails , program web sites, or phone inquiries. If you are positive that wrong information came from us and not somebody else, please provide the mismatch details and I will address this too. You may do it either here or in a private message if there is any sensitive information that you do not want to be disclosed.
Not to divert the conversation, but look at my post again. Yes, I am interested in bringing people to my site. I develop the software, process a lot of information, make it open to the public (all unfilled information there is pro bono no strings attached) in an easy to access way, and am getting slammed for a scam. Just a different perspective.
