New data on the primacy of signaling in the residency application process. Note the massive drop-off in interview rate for signaled/non-signaled applications, especially in ‘big signaling’ specialties. Deciding where to signal is *the* new high stakes meta-game for applicants.

We’re excited to have the ROL open. ERAS applicants, make sure your NRMP ID is in the ERAS system and that you have entered your AAMC ID into NRMP’s R3 system. #MedEd #IMG #Residents
