In hindsight, you're absolutely right. The NRMP website states "An applicant posts Match data on a website or listserv without authorization from the NRMP" constitutes a match violation. Wasn't sure how to interpret that.

Does posting your match results on facebook or social media constitute a violation of the match process?

I noticed UTSW seems to have a solid reputation on this forum, but when I talk to people they say "it's a really busy place, you won't have time to build an academic career, don't go there". My interest is in an academic career. What is the best advice regarding UTSW?

How many programs should I rank before I feel comfortable? I've been told if you rank ~10 programs, you should be ok. Is there a statistic on programs ranked vs. chance of matching?

Is it a match violation to call or email a program and say they are your first choice?

I haven't been writing "thank you" emails and waiting until now to email programs back (after interviewing at several places and being able to get a sense of the programs). I heard some people email thank you's immediately and in afraid it will affect my ranking. What are your thoughts?

Does it look poorly if I move a scheduled interview date to accommodate another interview? Otherwise, I have to wait list a program I want to interview at.

Mayo AZ*** Anyone have information on the Mayo programs? I know about Rochester, but not too much about Arizona or Jacksonville

Possibly an early phase I/II study for efficacy and tolerability. Hard to say without specific details...
