The #1 Residency Rank List Generator Tool
Build a rank list you can stand behind
After a long interview season, programs start to blur together. The MatchPal Rank List Generator is a free resource that turns your impressions into something you can compare. You weight what matters most to you, score each program, and let the totals show you where each one stands.

- Open the sheet and choose File → Make a copy to save your own version
- Pick the factors that matter to you (location, culture, training, fellowship match, schedule) and weight them
- Score each program right after its interview day, while it’s fresh
- Sort by total, then gut-check the order before you certify with the NRMP

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Rank List Generator work?
Make your own copy of the Google Sheet, choose the factors that matter to you and weight them, then score each program after its interview day. The sheet totals your scores so you can see how your programs compare.
Should I rank programs purely by score?
No. Use the scores to organize your thinking, then do a gut check. If a program feels wrong where it lands, ask yourself which factor you undervalued.
Can programs see how I ranked them?
No. Rank order lists are confidential, and NRMP rules do not allow programs to ask applicants how they plan to rank them.
When is the rank list due?
The NRMP rank order list deadline falls in early March of Match year. Check the NRMP website for this cycle’s exact date and certify your list well before it.
