HELL YES. I'm so proud of everyone.Got my 1. So thrilled
the only issue with that is that it takes 30+ min to get into the parks haha, even if you live close by#1! Off to Orlando!! I’m going to Disney!
Big win. Moving is a massive PITA.Third choice , but I don’t have to move , so that’s a win!
What a legend. Congrats! Matching integrated IR is huge.Matched interventional radiology in my hometown!!!
I can't help but step back and think about how insane this entire process is.
From applications to interviews to rank lists and getting ghosted by programs. To the costs and the uncertainty, to the match week and the email notifications that MAY come 5 minutes earlier. And to top it all off, programs know the results already, the schools know the results. The most important people though... us... are still waiting. And, our entire lives are chilling, just hanging in the balance. And our significant others, are families, are all waiting too.
This entire process is WHACKY. You couldn't even make this up.
UPGRADE MAYOS TO DR. PIGEON, BIOSHOCK PGY1I matched my number 1 anesthesia program!
congratulations everyone
It's really not that big of a deal. I mean, I get that everyone wants some super supportive PD. But the reality is that a vast majority just want trainees that aren't headaches, can pass the boards to make the numbers look good and in rare instances... be some superstar they can tout for their own benefit to the chair of the department and attract more candidates that aren't headaches.My PD emailed instead of calling. Probably best for everyone
Whatcha drinking tn?! Cheers homie!Hello. Also trashed as can be. Not trashed enough to say I’m a DO and matched my number #1 DR AMA
Screw that number 1 place! F emI dropped to #5 on my list which was really quite shocking when I opened it.
This is the one I kept saying I wanted to switch to 4! And would be mad if I matched to 4 and never had a shot at this one. 2 and 3 were OOS university programs that I wasn’t emotionally invested in but had excellent training in a good city.
my program is an excellent design and was the best fit for me, but it was ranked where it was because it’s OOS and low salary. Neither were deal breakers for me of course, but were negative points.
The day before Match Day people were asking where I felt in my gut I would get. And I said 1 or 5. Yet I was still so shocked when I actually got 5 because I had really envisioned a life around my 1 which is IS, close to all of my family, great program design, and has a very high salary.
so I have a lot to process. The first hour was very hard. Oh and as a bonus I’m currently rotating at my #1 and have 1 week left. And now I hate them.

Sorry to hear you didn't get your top pick. Are you having to move far, or is it still regional? Hopefully you'll still be able to visit family often.I dropped to #5 on my list which was really quite shocking when I opened it.

Well I live 1-4 hour drive now (depending on which family member they aren’t all in the same city) and rarely see them. I will be much much much further.Sorry to hear you didn't get your top pick.

Sometimes flying ends up being more efficient when you're farther out - will that be the case for you?Well I live 1-4 hour drive now (depending on which family member they aren’t all in the same city) and rarely see them. I will be much much much further.
I sent texts.How is everyone thanking the attendings/residents who have helped you throughout medical school? Can't decide between sending emails or hand-written notes

Congrats! How old are you? I’m an old dog too lolJust popping in for continuity to say I matched at my #2. Couldn’t be more grateful to land a GS categorical spot with my stats and *ahem* years of wisdom...
You guys have been so supportive to this old dog. I will look back on this thread any time I need a reminder of how lucky I am to be here and how many friends I’ve had along the way.

As early as yesterday I think some get sent out. Certainly today. That said — program dependent!Anyone know when we should be expecting to sign our contracts? House shopping awaits!
