Denotes that the percentage increase in active applicants for this group was greater than the overall increase of 14.9% for all active
applicants between 2009 and 2013.
Note: Match rates are based on all active applicants regardless of their ranking behavior. Therefore, applicants who matched to
PGY-1 positions are counted as matched even if they ranked and did not match to a PGY-2 position. Applicants who ranked only
PGY-2 programs are counted as unmatched in this table because they did not match to a PGY-1 position.
