Match Day Mailbag: Why does it take so long to get Match Results (and Top 5 Match Day Mishaps)

So you submitted your rank order list… but now you have to wait two weeks to find out if you matched or not. What gives? Why does it take the NRMP so long to push the button and run the algorithm?
In this video, I’ll not only explain why it takes so long to get your match results, but as an added bonus, I’ll also review the Top 5 Match Day mishaps.

"Are they running match by hands this year?" 😂 Btw your choice of words is pretty good, makes it so easy to understand.

Thank you for watching (and for your kind words)!

Surprised that my anticipation increased after getting my congrats yesterday. Friday can’t come soon enough.

We’re almost there… programs got their list earlier today. Wishing you all the best for tomorrow (and thanks for listening!).

I love your videos (and tweets!) but there is a ringing sound in the background similar to what I imagine tinnitus feels like. It makes watching with headphones much less enjoyable. Just FYI!

Now I'm just terrified of that fraud thing happening to me because there is no way I would know about it...

Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to activate the Match Day Nightmare Machine.
