Get we get some charts from Texas Star Residency stats? What charts in particular? There are a lot of different data -SDAAO
23
24
To SD, specifically the list of all programs with their step 1/step 2/research from Texas Star - our school isn't providing us with them :\;To be honest, I'm not comfortable sharing this data. They worked hard to keep it secure, and I respect their effort. Hope you can find it somewhere else! -SDe3450H
25
11/16For # Invites Tab, can we add a table for # of Interviews accepted? Feel like this will give us data closer to what AUPO is reporting! +2 < would be super helpful!Done - SDSF 2020 Match Report
26
12/4Can we get a tab with cataract surgery numbers for each program?Done, but not all programs shared info on SFMatch -SDDoximity
27
1/20A tab with opportunities/advice for those that don't matchPosted - SDOphtho Residency Map
28
1/24With Match Day approaching, could we get a '21 Final Match tab similar to '20 Final Match? Thanks!Posted - SD SDN Residency Compendium
29
2/2Someone re-ordered the '21 final match sheet based on program -> home school and messed up the lines / numbering... (e.g. row 215 - NYU is grouped with NYMC) can we revert? Should be fixed - SD
30
Program rank list seems to have disappeared...?
Looks like you're right. Just restored it. -SDInterview Guides
31
2/5can we unlock the applicants tab so we can add final match data?Good call, done. -SD6 Strategies to Master Video & Virtual Interviews
32
2/6Remove Summa from final match sheetPetty, I like it. -SDGuide
33
SD, as a reapp I must say you have done an outstanding job improving the spreadsheet from last year and keeping it functional. I wish you success and hope that you're my co-resident. Thank you so much!//-Thank you! Glad to be a part of this. -SDGuide
34
Dear Sheet Daddy: There are a bunch of deleted rows in this chat. Can you restore them please? (After row 59 it looks like a bunch of post-interview, ROL-related discussion is missing)--Unless there's another way to do this, it's going to be very difficult for me to find what rows were deleted. Do you remember any particular phrases or words that I can CTRL + F?AAMC
35
SD, can you add a column in 21' applicants and '21 unmatch to indicate URM or notDone -SD -> can you do the same for unmatch tab → Done -SD
36
2/18/2021Is there a place we can request general "vibe checks" from people who interviewed at specific institutions? Would love to get a real feel for what certain residency p-rograms are like. -/-The best place for that would be the Post-Int Review; both '21 and '20 are on this sheet. You could also look at the A vs B tab for specific (but more anecdotal) comparisons. You could also check out the SDN Residency Compendium, linked on this Home page. Lastly, you could consider emailing people who matched at specific programs you're interested in. -SDAnki Decks A
37
4/17/2021SD, for the 2022 lists, could you kindly consider making the program name dropdown using data validation to unify data across sheets for those who are inclined (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/186103?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en)-I won't be in charge of the 2022 spreadsheet, but this would be a great suggestion for next year's SD. -SD

42
5/20Might be helpful to indicate which programs are currently represented by participants so we can ask questions?DoneOphthoBook
43
5/21Some sort of COVID-response or name-and-shame where we can list which/if places have been sheisty throughout COVIDThere's a general name/shame sheet posted here, not sure if a whole ophtho-specific page is warranted.EyeRounds
44
6/11Mod of this spreadsheet should face revealNeverEyeWiki
45
6/18Can we change the column entitled "spirit animal" ? I was told by an indigenous friend that the term is actually insensitive to certain Native American cultures, in which the spirit animal is a sacred component and tradition +1Done<You da best +1EyeGuru
46
6/24Do we have a list to document which programs are mandatory integrated, optional PGY-1, or not integrated at all for prelim year?
20 Integrated List has some of this information, but it is not up to date
EyeTube
47
7/6Cell calculations on '21 Applicants don't always start with first applicant on the list, needs to be updated
Should be fixed

48
7/7Added a tab for us to track supplemental requirements in one place, but feel free to change or delete if necessary!Thanks!OphthoQuestions
49
Please no spam thanks!The Lens
50
8/1Can we have a tab with all the links to webinars/open houses/zoom sessions? instead of having to comb through the chatDone!
51
8/5There needs to be some indication between integrated and joint in the '20 integrated list
< Not SD, but found a document that shows th.is: https://sfmatch.org/PDFFilesDisplay/Residency_Status_2020.pdf
52
8/12What do you guys think about starting a page with current med student reviews on their home programs?
<Not sheet daddy, just one of the populace. But I think this could be reeeeally tricky because so many programs have few people (1-2) applying. Would be really hard to keep anonymous< Didn't think about it that way, probablt better to not then lol
< Agree -SD
53
^Could be interesting to start a '20 review of programs with any insights from home programs, aways, webinars... we wouldn't have to "out" ourselves by saying it's our home program since it'd all be combined
54
8/16Having a list of schools with apps due before the target date
55
9/17Home students should review their programs
Not really thinking this is a good idea due to the possibility of identification, as explained in the 8/12 suggestion.
56
57
9/18Adding a column for dating scene with program review. IM has this in their sheetAdded
58
9/21Consider adding a feels page separate from chat (not everyone checks discord)/Added
59
9/24Can we get a page to discuss opinions on programs? Can be hear-say, home programs, or opinions from webinars. Keep it super vague so home students can share stuff and post-webinar thoughs?Added;;;;; yeah;;o,,,;
60
10/6#ERROR!How would you even find this information? Is it on program websites? <- If people already emailed program coordinators about this?
61
10/12/2020/Can we add a # of interview invites like last year? <columns for wait list?,Where? In a seperate tab. There's one from last year titled "# invites"+2;
62
Invite column with type of video conference usedDone
63
10/13Interview day/time swap pageDone
64
10/15Can we start a tab with PGY1 training type for each program (integrated, joint, traditional, etc)? Kind of hard to quickly see this on SF match
there already is > 20 integrated list and click on link in top row
65
10/16Correct the chart title to "10/12" on the 21' # Invites tabDone
66
10/16The formula for sample size on the # of IV tab should be from B2:B22, not B2:B17Fixed
67
10/19In the "'21 # Invit/es" tab, can we add more rows at the bottom so that it extends as far out as, say, 30 interview invitations? Obviously no one's attending more than 20 interviews, but why stop at 20 when some people will be getting well over 20 invitations? It would falsely skew the data to limit thos/e individuals to 20.Added -- someone please double check my formulas lol
Awesome! Thanks!
68
10/19Can we get a tab with corresponding ERAS preliminary joint programs?
69
10/19Can we get a new column in '21 Invites for "Available IV slots last checked at [Date/Time]"?Done
70
10/23
Restored: "Can we get a tab for '21 Prelim/TY IV?"/
There's a separate TY/prelim sheet if you're curious
71
10/25Can we get a separate tab (or maybe a separate section on the Interview Swap tab) specific for AM/PM swaps (for ppl who want to switch AM/PM for the same program, same interview date)? Just an idea!I think just specifying AM/PM on the current swap sheet should be enough, I feel like adding another tab for people to have to check will just reduce your likelihood of someone seeing your request. Definitely check out the discord for swaps too!
72
10/26Can we update the week 3 # invites graph to include the full D column? I tried to edit it but it was protected. Thanks!Sorry, fixed!
73
10/27Can we get a FAQ tab? Seems like there are often a lot of repeat questions in the chat, wondering if it would be good to compile those in a separate tab so people can look there first <idk if it might be an overkill? Yeah I personally feel like nobody would look at it anyway.
74
10/28I'm in favor of adding more rows to the "21 # Invites" tab (mb up to 40 interviews?), so that we get a more accurate mean and SDIncreased to 30
75
11/1There are two separate entries for MCV and VCU in the '21 Post-Int Review tab (they are the same program). Can they be merged together?Merged
76
11/2Start an AAO 2020 channel
Post this on the discord, I don't manage it unfortunately
77
11/2Add a "Number of residents/year" column to the "'21 Invites" sheet +1Done
78
11/4Can we make some sort of denotation for programs that have completed all of their invterviews in the Invites Tab? Maybe change the color of that row?
Graying out should work!
79
11/4The histograms on the # invites tab seem off, the date is wrong for this weeks and there is no column for 30+Fixed - SD

84
11/11Can we add a 'Cities' tab like prior years to compare locations?Done -SD
85
11/11Can we create a way of indicate whether or not a swap request has been fulfilled on the interview swap page (maybe strikethrough or delete the post) - I am happy to help if I have dates people need to swap for, but I'm not sure if those requests have been fulfilledAdded directions to strikeout completed requests -SD
86
11/11Can we get the match countdown going at the top of the chat?
A1: 02/01/2021, B1: =today(), C1: =A1-B1		Yay!
87
11/12Per the discussion in the chat, can we get an anonymous "Hot List" for fun and anonymous validation? +1Would be fun!
88
11/12Hey SD! Could we get a "read-only" link to bookmark for this sheet? ENT has a similar one, which looks like it works nicely. Refreshes manually. It would spare traffic I think, since some of us only want to view and not editNot sure how to do this? If anyone can post a link to the read-only version I can update the announcements with it <The "publish to the web" option I believe, which is greyed out for me and hopefully wouldn't be greyed out for you - Added - SD < Thanks! I couldn't find the link anywhere - mind point us in the right direction? <on the Chat page at the top! -SD
89
11/12Can we have a tab for '21 advice for future applicants?Done -SD
90
11/13can we get a tab for joint programs and what they're protocols are for applying for the joint portion?Added to post-interview review - SD
91

11/22Can we make an "Awards" tab like in the 2019-20 spreadsheet?Linked here
94
11/24Can we get a "call" tab that lists call frequency at each program?Already present on Post-Interview Review - SD
95
11/30It would be great to make a tab to crowdsource fellowship matches for this year, their match day is Dec. 18 and ASOPRS was in OctoberLinked here
96
12/5can we erase the emails from the '20 final match tab? those were never meant to be saved for longer than a few months and two years ago someone sold the email list to spam peopleWill clear. Thanks for the tip! -SD
97
12/14can we get a tab to discuss thank you notes? Whether faculty have responded, whether it was generic/personal, etc?Linked here
98
12/17As interviews are finally winding down, can we get the countdown to match featured more prominently on the home page or chat?Done
99
11/16Is there any way we can have some kind of place to do an institution-specific chat? Like a place for people to voice their concerns about each institution and for someone to respond to those concerns, if they have any info? Not really neccessary but it could be nice to have somewhere to discuss more informally, and to not crowd the "impressions" tabI'd suggest the A. vs. B tab or the Chat for questions like that -- I feel like if we add another tab nobody's gonna see it? < This is kind of going on already on the discord?
