<p>It is not a problem if you match. My D’s best friend (diff. Med. School) just told my D. that the #1 ranked in the graduating class did not match at all. I am not sure what she will do. My D. is applying in one year, so we do not have experience. However, even we do not worry. The people who do not match, they do not fall off the earth, they do something, right? Then, I guess, they apply again, correct?</p>
<p>Again, HS junior year is definitely NOT the time to worry about it. And even college years are not the time to worry about residency. You worry when you do not match, then you will have to make some plans.</p>
