Below you will find a random sample of success stories shares with us.
"Match A Resident, after I found you guys it just opened my mind and I was like, "Ok, I got this!"
"Being organized was very important. I used Match A Resident and that really helped me organize what programs I wanted to apply to. I dual applied, so Match A Resident really helped keep that organized for me."
"Match A Resident is the answer to finding the most efficient, quickest, fastest, and long-standing service. It's been around for many years before I matched and for many years to come."
"It can be challenging to figure out the visa status, minimum scores, whether a program accepts students from international medical schools, what clinical experience you need. When you're applying from an international medical school and you're looking into a particular specialty, it's very challenging to find these things out. Then comes Match A Resident."
"The program I matched in was listed in Match A Resident so it was great!"
"Residency explorer did help with a lot of things but, the reason why I like to match a resident was, number one, their data is more updated. When you look at the program they literally like call the programs up and confirm the criteria for the season and they also mention when it was last updated. Match a resident also gives you information about the number of people with similar credentials as yours who got an interview from this program. This also helped me make my decisions."
"I narrowed down my list to only programs that sponsored visas, and I used Match A Resident to help me with that. Becuase it can be really hard going through individual websites, so it was really nice to have it all in one spot and be able to say, all these programs sponsor visas."
"My score was less than stellar, and at that point I knew it was going to be an uphill battle. That's where Match A Resident came in to help me out."
"I definitely would recommend that applicants use Match A Resident because it really saves you a lot of time, as well as a lot of money, and it really alleviates most of the stress that comes with trying to find which programs one is most compatible with."
"The Match A Resident custom list came in to help me in the best way possible because it has a lot of information that is not found anywhere. It has insights spanning multiple years, and it also has special features like I-Link, Country-Link, School-Link, so all of these features make MAR an unbeatable choice when you're applying to a residency program."
"Based on what I was told previously, I shouldn't have matched with my scores and my stats, so to have had 9 interviews for neurology is not a small feat. I really do credit Match A Resident in helping me select the programs to apply to that made the most sense for me instead of just blindly applying."
"A lot of people make the mistake of just applying everywhere or don't do research before they apply, and 100 of those 200 programs were never going to look at you. So applying "smart" is very important. I used the Match A Resident bundle."
"The program list was brilliant. I was initially going to apply to about 145 programs, but after using Match A Resident I shortened my list to less than 120. I ended up getting 20 interviews and it was really hard scheduling them. Match A Resident also had a scheduler that I could use where I could put in my interview dates, so it had amazing tools as well!"
"I was able to see how many people with similar credentials to mine were able to get selected for interview at a specific program or match from the same country. This was a real confidence booster - that people with similar credentials were able to get interviews, and that's how I decided to apply to that program. Match A Resident is extremely useful and I suggest it to my close friends and upcoming applicants."
"When I applied to the match, I only had average scores and 0 publications. Applying was a big risk for me because every year the match gets more progressively competitive. Luckily, Match A Resident was there to help me and I matched on my first cycle of application."
