NRMP Charting Outcomes in the Match

The first edition of the National Resident Matching Program's (NRMP) Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in July 2006 in response to requests from students and their advisors for data casting some light on how applicant qualifications affect match success.  Since then, the information has broadened to include more specialties, several new measures, and regression analyses to predict match success.
