Instructions Related to Match Results

If your institution offered more than one program in the Match, the results for all programs are displayed on one page and are separated by program. For each program, matched applicants are listed in alphabetical order and the number of positions offered and filled are shown.

Each applicant who participated in the Match is being notified of his or her result in the Match by e-mail and via this web site. However, you should also contact each applicant matched to your institution as soon as possible to acknowledge the Match result. In addition, you must send a letter of confirmation of the Match result no later than December 12 to each applicant matched to your institution. Applicants must sign and return the letters by January 1, 2009.

Each applicant who was matched is now bound to accept the Match result, as stipulated in the terms of the Applicant Agreement signed by the applicant. In the unlikely event that any applicant does not honor the Match result, please report this to either National Matching Services Inc. or one of the Sponsors of the Matching Program.

If a program at your institution did not fill all its positions, you may now make offers to any applicant who did not match to a position or to any applicant who did not participate in the Match, in order to fill any available position(s). Information on applicants who participated in the Match but who did not obtain a position is available on this web site. Information on unmatched applicants on this web site can be selected for display by applicant name, by school of graduation or by location of residence. You can also obtain contact information for unmatched applicants in an Excel file by requesting the file directly from the American Association of Orthodontists.

Unless you specifically requested otherwise, any program at your institution that did not fill all its positions has been included in the list of programs with available positions that is available to applicants and U.S. dental schools on this web site. Please note that the list of programs with available positions displayed on this web site will not be updated.

If you are unsuccessful in obtaining your Match result from this web site, or if you have any questions about your Match result, please contact National Matching Services Inc. directly.
