Can relate to all those points.

The Match was especially brutal on us because there were only a handful of programs within 2000 miles of our home (West Coast) so we said goodbye to our lifelong friends and family and moved out East.

It's a bit late for you, but I created a website (https://medmap.io) to help with The Match process. I have plans to improve it and make it more community driven, but it at least helps visualize your options.

That is a really cool website. I have some comments, and let me preface them with the fact that my wife is going to be a DO so I'm always looking for "Where is the love for DOs?":

- I don't see a way to differentiate between DO and MD programs. Along the same lines, several of the programs she applied to (like Grandview in Dayton: http://www.ketteringhealth.org/grandviewmeded/residencies.cf...) don't appear on this map (though some do, but again no indication of DO). What is the datasource for the map? Is there any way it could be enrichened?
