Match Experience
Its a crazy process, but if you play your cards right, things will work out in the end. For american graduates, more than 80% match at their top 3 and over 50% match at their top place. I matched at my top choice. If you really want to go to a certain program, dont be afraid to let that program know through email or via your personal statement.
