About 1 in 4 family medicine invites go to applicants who signaled the program

This season, 24% of reported family medicine invites with a known signal status went to applicants who had signaled that program (95% interval 21% to 27%). For comparison, 12% of this season’s family medicine applications carried a signal. In last cycle’s applicant outcome records, covering the whole season, the share was 26%.

Those records also show how much more often signaled applications drew an offer: 87% of signaled family medicine applications led to an interview offer, against 68% of unsignaled ones. That is association, not cause: applicants tend to signal programs where they are already competitive, and the records lean toward US MD and DO applicants who matched.
