SOAP 45 Prep
For the Post-Match SOAP · Match Week
When the unfilled list drops, know instantly where you qualify.
SOAP® runs over several days, but the first hour is where the advantage is won. The moment the NRMP® R3® list drops, programs start lining up applicants. You can send only 45 applications, so the candidates who move first, to the programs they actually fit, get seen first. SOAP 45 Prep does the one thing you cannot do fast enough alone: it tells you which programs you qualify for, ranked one to forty-five, while everyone else is still reading the list.

vacancy forecasting
Two tools, two moments
Forecast the openings before Match Week. Then rank your 45 the moment they appear.
The two tools work at different times. Before Match Week, the Vacancy Predictor forecasts where openings are likely, so you are not starting from zero. Then, in the first hour of SOAP®, the Compatibility Checker takes over: pull your unfilled list from the NRMP® R3® system, enter each program's ACGME® code, and our AI instantly ranks your top 45 compatible programs in real time as you build the list.
⚡
Compatibility Checker, in real time
When SOAP® opens, pull your unfilled list from the NRMP® R3® system, then enter each ACGME® code. Our AI returns an instant result for each one and builds your top 45 compatible programs as you go, gold-badging the best fits. No manual research can match this in the first hour, when moving early is the advantage.
📊
Vacancy Predictor, before Match Week
Using past SOAP® data and specialty trends, it forecasts where openings are most likely across five key specialties, so you prepare ahead, not from zero. (It predicts likely vacancies; it does not show the live NRMP® list.)

Free SOAP Guide
Five modules covering the SOAP® timeline, interviews, and offer decisions, so you understand the process before Match Week.
🎯
45 smart applications, not 45 guesses
SOAP® lets you send only 45. Knowing instantly which programs fit means every one of those applications is a real shot.
How it works
From your profile to a real plan.
1
Prepare before Match Week
The Vacancy Predictor shows where openings are likely, so you ready your documents and targets early.
2
Pull the list, check each program
When SOAP® opens, pull your unfilled list from the NRMP® R3® system. Enter each ACGME® code; the Compatibility Checker returns an instant result and builds your top 45 in real time.
3
Send 45 smart applications
Apply where you actually qualify, and get yours in early while programs are still lining up applicants.
A plan, ready in case you ever need it
If the main match does not go the way you hoped, there is still a path, and it moves fast. SOAP® runs over a few days, but the people who do well are the ones who can instantly see which programs they qualify for in the first hour, instead of researching each one by hand while the clock runs.
“When I didn't match in the main cycle, I was panicking. The SOAP prep walked me through exactly which programs to target and how to move fast. I secured a position that week, and I don't think I would have without it.”

Questions IMGs ask
Honest answers to what is really on your mind.
Is it too early to prepare for SOAP®?+
Not at all, and preparing early is the opposite of giving up. Think of it as a plan you hope to never use. The earlier you set up, the calmer and faster you are if the day comes. If you match, you have lost nothing. If you do not, you are the one who is ready and moving in the first hour, instead of scrambling. Quiet preparation is what calm, prepared applicants do.
How does it actually work during Match Week?+
When the NRMP® R3® system releases your unfilled list, you pull it in and enter each program's ACGME® code. The Compatibility Checker returns an instant result for each and builds your top 45 compatible programs in real time, gold-badging the best fits. Before Match Week, the Vacancy Predictor forecasts where openings are likely, so you can prepare ahead. SOAP® spans a few days, but with only 45 applications and programs lining up applicants fast, knowing instantly where you qualify in that first hour is the whole game.
Does it show the live list of open positions?+
No, and we are honest about that. The Vacancy Predictor forecasts where openings are likely based on past SOAP® data and trends. It does not show the live NRMP® list. The Compatibility Checker then works in real time against the actual list once it is released in the R3® system.
