What is the difference? I'm not too sure what SOAPing is
Prior to the SOAP process was the true scramble. You basically spent time calling a bunch of programs and trying to figure out if they had spots available and if so how do you get one, etc.
The SOAP is the new process instituted for those who don't match. It allows you to all of the spots that didn't fill regardless of speciality. You apply for these spots during Match Week (after monday, before friday) and do a bunch of phone interviews with PDs that you know have spots available. It's a much more organized method and is really not as much of a scramble as it used to be.

How does this match work?

I've been doing uworld instead of class stuff. So now I'm trying to catch up so I don't fail, and can then go back to doing uworld 
uworld is better than reading notes

No not everyone will match. Some may not match and then they will have to go through something called The Scramble. Which is them just taking whatever residency spots have not been filled yet. Its the bottom of the barrel

Sure, if you're happy with limiting yourself to just the mouth.
I wanna play in other orifaces.

I'm taking a break from board studying to watch my school's Match Day ceremony. It seems like it's going to be an eternity until I'm in their shoes.
I'm thrilled for everyone matching today though.

My stress level was at an all time high this time of year 4 years ago.
Couldn't imagine not matching, especially those not choosing competitive fields. Too many horror stories about people never matching. That MD is pretty useless without a residency program attached to it.
