My understanding is that these calls are uncommon and only specific programs make them. Additionally, a number of top programs explicitly do not do this

I've heard people say most top programs do this. Other residents have said they didn't get any calls. Some say they got 2-3. In short, nobody knows jack. We should fill out the post-interview contact form in the google sheet once the match is over to get a better idea of who does this and who doesn't

I got a call from a smaller program a week ago, however the phrasing was "we were highly impressed by you". Who knows who many other applicants they called or if they are even allowed to say the phrase "ranked to match" explicitly

Exactly and this is why we're told not to put a huge amount of stock into what we hear. Obviously this stuff is standardized so some programs might only call you if you're ranked within their number of slots, some may call half their rank list, some might not call anybody. Even being told you're "ranked to match" isn't necessarily a guarantee that you'd match there

isn't standardized*

Well said^. When emailing programs are you telling them outright you're my #2 or #3, or are you saving that for #1 only and telling the rest they're up there.
