Take a few deep breaths. Have a beer or three. Plan your 4th year vacations. Match day will be here soon enough.
I've been thinking about this too. I'm going w/ Blanton's.I'm spending this time finding the perfect whiskey for Tuesday. I suggest you do the same

Lagavulin for me!
If I hadn't received that as a gift on my birthday I would've went with Lagavulin. My favorite of the Islay scotches! In related news, 5 days to go
Congratulations!! What a huge accomplishment. I also spent an additional year trying to break into the field. I can't wait to find out where I matched! The minutes are going so slowly...
in the same exact boat...
So I didn't match last year - worked my ass off for literally the last 364 days - matched today.
Can't overstate how relieved, excited and happy I am!!!
I don't mean to be a nag, but I gotta say this: if this year's anything like last year, ~30% of applicants didn't match at all, and if you're in that boat you'd give anything to match anywhere. It's quite painful to see people dissatisfied when they DO match to a program they willingly ranked...
Bonoz, or anyone else needing advice (on matching, not matching, or whatever really), feel free to PM me
weird, someone else was just able to PM me! click my name and then click "start a conversation"?
Congrats to everyone who matched!! If you are unhappy with your match give yourself time to be unhappy. Then let it sink in that you are going to be an ophthalmologist (!!) and realize there are plenty of applicants who would GLADLY take your place. Vow to be a kick-ass resident at your future program. Matching in ophthalmology is a major accomplishment. Period.
congratulations on matching! can anyone post the link to the spreadsheet where people can post their match result? curious who my co-residents are
Would love to see that get started while things are freshSo does a designated mod usually start the match thread or one of us does it?
The volume at Emory is huge. I know specifically that Emory residents pull 12 hour days on a daily basis especially when working at the VA. Even the most enthusiastic residents say they are overworked, and really not for their benefit. I'd still stay Emory > Baylor overall, especially now, less so 15-20 years ago. Also, UT Houston is working hard to take the spotlight away from Baylor so you have to think about that as well whether it be volume, faculty, researchers etc.
