I ranked two and did not match :(

Upset but I will be ok! Congrats to everyone who matched you will do great!

Not sure if I'm going to scramble yet
 
I'm in same boat! Three interviews and ranked two with no match. I'll have to be really compelled by a program to do the scramble!

It's fate.
This.
I got my #3 place, but I really wanted to put it #1 but didn't because I ranked to be a little closer to my family. Guess I was meant to go here anyways. :D

Sweet! I suicide matched and got it because really that was the only option. I graduated in 2009 and so, after a few years working as a hospital pharmacist, I'm going back for more training.
 
I'm now eagerly waiting to get an email from my program director to see who we matched (if she didn't forget to include me in the email). :p
 
I matched! It was a little scary, 11 applications, 2 interviews, matched at #2, close call but so thankful! Thanks to everyone on SDN for advice and words of wisdom. I don't post much but trust me, I was on SDN everyday for the past 4 months! You frequent posters help people more than you know! :)

Hi everyone! I wanted to say congrats and good luck to those who decide to scramble- there's actually some pretty good sites up :D I know I've never posted before but I've been reading these posts for a while and was so excited when I found out I matched today!! Anyway, does anyone know if we're supposed to email the residency director once we get the results or do we wait for them to reach out to us?
