Would you want signals in AMCAS?
Residency match has "signals" where you get to express specific interest in a small number of programs.
I'm curious if people would like to see something similar for AMCAS? I think it could help avoid yield protection for competitive applicants who want to stay near home or save money, but it could also hurt your chances at schools where you don't signal.
I think it's another option that could lower the number of schools people have to apply to without actually enforcig a cap.
