Here is the link to fill out which programs you applied to and your stats: https://goo.gl/forms/jpCJCBrtpszHA2gH3
Here is a link to view the data that has been entered. The programs page is the most valuable. The region one I am still working on the formula to make it work.

Reminder, this is ANONYMOUS. It does require a sign in so you can only complete it once (and edit it if you make a mistake). it DOES NOT put your e-mail or name in to the results. Note, you do not need to select an option for every row, but if you accidentally click on one you can click did not apply.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or changes.

Hey Everyone,
Had an idea based somewhat on the match summary data that gets done every year.
Essentially, the idea is to ANONYMOUSLY enter Step 1, Step 2, and research stats, then list which programs you applied to and did not get an interview, which you got an interview invite from, which you rotated at and did/did not get an interview, and those you were wait listed at.
From this, it will be possible to report stats for each specific program regarding the average/min/max scores for people who applied, and those they actually interviewed. I think this would be very beneficial for future applicants to see some actual numbers about what alleged cutoffs a program may have. Obviously won't capture everyone, but if there is a good sample size it can help people apply more selectively to programs that they actually have a legitimate chance at getting an interview, thus saving everyone time, money, and hopefully improving everyones chances of getting interviews at programs they are competitive.
I did a test run using fictional data of 5 "people" to see what it may look like and have attached screen shots here.
If anyone has other ideas about how to improve or what information should be added/removed I can definitely make changes. I think maybe having an area where you can select regional connections (medical school, college, or permanent address) and see if that correlates at all with which schools interview those with regional connections more than others would be helpful too...but I'm not quite sure how to implement.
