Export Rank List for Import into Match Systems

Rank Lists can be exported at any time.  The rank list will export all applicants listed on the rank list to an excel sheet; information exported will include:

  • Applicant First Name
  • Applicant Last Name
  • Applicant Email
  • Applicant AAMC ID
  • Medical School
  • Total Interview Score
  • Total Cortex Score (if applicable)
  • Total Overall Score
  • Rank 

Exporting the Rank List to Your Computer 

  1. Click the "Export" button on the upper right-hand corner of the Applicant Rank List.
  2. You can choose the following file formats for export:
    • Excel
    • CSV (comma delimited)
    • CSV (semicolon delimited)
    • CSV (tab delimited)
    • NRMP (txt) by AAMC ID
    • NRMP (txt) by NRMP ID
  3. You can choose to exclude Do not Rank (DNR) applicants from this export. 
  4. The file will export/download to your computer containing your finalized rank list.

This process may be repeated, as needed (i.e. after updates to the rank list).

Exporting the Rank List from Thalamus into the NRMP’s R3 System

Important: For the 2025 Match cycle, the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) decided to no longer require that applicants enter their AAMC ID in the Registration, Ranking, and Results® (R3®) system.  This is a change from previous years. When programs submit rank lists using AAMC IDs as the unique identifier, applicants without AAMC IDs in R3 will not be found. Programs will need to enter applicants manually by their NRMP ID (if available and known to the program) or manually search for the applicants by other data elements (e.g. first name, last name, etc.).  

Please note: Thalamus includes NRMP IDs entered by applicants into their MyERAS application.  This value is manually entered by applicants, and we cannot verify that the NRMP ID data is accurate and/or free from error.  Should your program wish to use NRMP ID as the identifier for rank list creation, please double-check the data to ensure your rank list remains accurate as you work towards final submission in R3.

As always, Thalamus is here to support programs using our rank list tools and other native Thalamus features. Please see our most recent communication for additional information regarding the NRMP’s decision. 

Thalamus strongly recommends that:

  1. All applicants enter their AAMC ID in the NRMP R3 system to ensure streamlined identification by programs. 
  2. All residency programs continue using AAMC ID as the unique identifier.[JR1] 

To export the list:

  1. Click the "Export" button on the upper right-hand corner of your Applicant Rank List in Thalamus Core.
  2. Choose one of the following two file formats for export:
    • NRMP (.txt) by AAMC ID (Thalamus recommended option)
    • NRMP (.txt) by NRMP ID
  3. The file will export/download to your computer containing your finalized rank list.
  4. The file may then be uploaded into the NRMP’s R3 system.

This process may be repeated, as needed (i.e. after updates to the rank list).

The NRMP R3 system requires the .txt file type (and does not accept CSV files).

Thalamus is unable to troubleshoot missing or inaccurate data in the NRMP’s R3 system. 

 

If you have questions regarding missing AAMC and/or NRMP IDs, or any other questions regarding the R3 system, please contact NRMP support at:
