This is why you don't want to RANK a program in which you don't want to go to because of your hatred of the city and/or the program's rough call schedule.

Description
In the 2011 Radiology Fellowship Match, Dr. Peter Parker matched to the Interventional Radiology program at National Medical Center for a July 2012 start date. In May 2012, the NRMP learned from the program director that Dr. Parker had not returned his confirmation letter and had not responded to the program director's repeated requests for information to complete the appointment process. The NRMP contacted Dr. Parker and informed him of the NRMP's requirement to request a waiver of his Match commitment if he did not plan to honor his match. During the waiver review, the NRMP learned that Dr. Parker was undecided about whether to accept the matched position. He was completing an occupation outside the field of medicine, and he was unsure what course of action to take. The NRMP denied the waiver, noting that Dr. Parker could have withdrawn from the Radiology Fellowship Match prior to the rank order list deadline if he had wished to pursue a different career. When Dr. Parker failed to honor his Match commitment, he was barred for one year from accepting or starting a position in any program sponsored by an NRMP Match-participating institution, barred from future NRMP Matches for two years, and flagged as a Match violator in the NRMP's Registration, Ranking, and ResultsSM (R3SM) system for two years.
