Signaling

Our program will participate in preference signaling for the 2024-2025 match cycle. We plan to include signaling information as one part of a holistic application review during the interview selection process. We will invite those applicants who have clearly demonstrated the ability to excel in our training environment regardless of whether they have signaled our program. For applicants who are judged to be similar in competitiveness, we will give preference to those who have signaled our program.

Once applicants have been invited to interview, signaling data will not be considered in ranking decisions.
