How the Match Algorithm Works

• Applicant proposing
• Starts with an attempt to place an applicant in
  the program ranked 1 by the applicant
• A tentative Match occurs
• if the program also ranked the applicant and
• the program has unfilled positions
• if the program is filled but the applicant is
  ranked higher than another applicant tentatively
  matched to that program

23

• How the Match Algorithm Works
• No Match
• if the program did not rank the applicant
• if the program ranked the applicant but is
  filled with other more preferred applicants
• Couples
• the algorithm places a couple in their highest
  ranked pair of programs where both matched
• Final Matches
• when the algorithm completes its cycles, all
  tentative matches become final

  through the NRMP or other matches.
• You can express interest in a program but you
  cannot ask how you will be ranked.
• A program cannot demand to know how it will be
  ranked by the applicant.
• Applicants and programs are bound by the results
  of the Match.
