Explanation

This is a heuristic, not a validated model. Specialty baselines are rough estimates; score contributions are modest (0.25% per point above a baseline), research is capped at +8%, AOA adds +5%, and couples match subtracts 3%. Real match outcomes depend on many factors including program geography, letters, rotations, signaling, interview performance, and applicant pool.
