Just a few more hours now..:scared:

Let us know where you're going to spend the next 3 years.

One note that I always make about this day....Remember to be humble about your accomplishments today. Brag to your mom and dad and your significant other. Give your dog an extra treat. But remember that some of your classmates, even those who matched in their top "whatever", will be disappointed that they didn't get their #1 or another of their top few choice(s).

Wherever you matched, the overwhelming likelihood is that you'll do well and be happy there. I matched at my #3 and lived to tell the tale of a great experience there.

Finally, as with every year, if you matched where "I" am, you'll get a PM from me ASAP introducing myself and asking you to say hi to me when you come for orientation. :p

Welcome to residency, let the match day festivities begin.:soexcited:

Link to last year's thread - come on, we can do better this year!

Thank you so much for the encouraging words, oldbearprofessor!!!! I have always loved your posts and your advice all these years. I am really happy and grateful to have matched this week, and although I am hoping for my #1, it is encouraging to hear that even if I match somewhere else, I will have a good experience and it will turn out for the best. I will be happy at any of the places I ranked. Thanks again!!!
