anbessa21 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 For instance, in Ottawa our match rate was 98.4% this year (translates to 2 unmatched). Many staying here, and very few leaving the province of Ontario. Definitely some variability in disciplines, though undoubtedly more matched to FM this year than in the previous 3 matches (approaching 40%). Curious to know what the match looked like around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribo7173 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Wow. Ottawa did very well last year too IIRC. anbessa21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded frog Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Other than the 2nd round position list, the only public data will be what each school discloses about their own data until 2nd round match day, so hopefully if people at other schools know and can let you know you might get some info otherwise you will have to wait.

How does the total number of 2nd round available positions this year compare to previous years? I guess it could be used as a proxy for # of unmatched students?

bread Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I think our school said the national match rate this year was just over 94%... not sure how that compares to other years! anbessa21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is more significant, IMO, is the fact that there are pretty much no specialty spots left in 2nd round this year (outside of pathology obviously). This is especially true for surgical specialties. anbessa21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premed72 Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I was also wondering if there was far more home school matches this year compared to other years, as a result of covid. I guess we will have to wait for that info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The data released to us by faculty (specific to our institution) would suggest so, but I was curious to see how preserved this trend was across the country. premed72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also seems that the schools in bigger cities faired better in the match vs others. premed72, anbessa21 and IMislove 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haribo7173 Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 From our assistant dean in Sherbrooke today: 95.1% match rate (with a Canadian average of 94.2%). anbessa21 and Persephone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's easy because they publish a historical summary: https://www.carms.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020_r1_tbl58.pdf After first iteration: Year % Matched 2020 94.9% 2019 94.1% 2018 92.4% 2017 93.5% 2016 94.2% 2015 95.4% 2014 94.6% 2013 95.1% 2012 93.9% 2011 94.5% 2010 96.2% 2009 95.4% anbessa21, Davinci and Persephone 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine Comedy Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Pretty much in line with match rate in recent years. Would be interested in seeing % of applicants staying at home institution this cycle vs previous years. qwerty879 and sykern 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
