Before You Withdraw
Only tracks that are no longer offering positions in 2024 should withdraw from CASPR.
No Applicants to Rank: If a track has positions available to begin in 2024 that you would like to fill but has no acceptable applicants to rank, you should certify a Rank Order List with no ranks in the NMS Match System. Do not withdraw the track. The track will remain active in CASPR, and will be included in the Post-Match Process.
Implications of Withdrawing
A withdrawn track will not be included in the matching process, will not be matched with any applicants. Furthermore, a track that is withdrawn for MPII will not be included on the List of Participating Programs for the Post-Match Process.
If a track is withdrawn, it will not be carried over automatically to the Post-Match Process.
If you withdraw a track, any rankings of applicants that may have been submitted for the track will not be used in the matching process. Tracks that certify a Rank Order List and do not withdraw by the Rank Order List deadline will be included in the matching process and will be obliged to accept the results.
