I don't think the algorithm is like a lottery. It does favour the candidate in terms of getting desired programs. There is a discussion about it that i found useful: http://www.usmleforum.com/showthread.php?tid=645919

Yes
But dont rank based on how u feel a program will rank u.
rank based on how u like it.
meaning that the program that has you at number 6...even if u rank it at number 20...u will end up there even if your first 19 didnt rank u.
I dont understand why u guys dont take time off and read the matching algorithm. So much dedication went into the steps...we shd invest in key things like this which are gonna decide where we gonna end up at
