I ran into another student the other day and I said we should have had weekly support group meetings to get through this stress! So we decided to have a Match Day Support Group gathering, hopefully there's lots of good news and not too much disappointment
I have been waiting for this week forever, but now that the week is actually here I'm wishing for the opposite. Anxious much?
You're right. It's too cruel. Sigh... I'll open it with then by my side. Hope they have some tissues ready. I'm gonna cry either way.
here's to hoping to happy tears!
It's looking like I'll have the morning off from rotation and then be assisting my prof/preceptor with a student group HTN clinic at a local Y in the afternoon. So at least I won't be at rotation when I find out
That's great! Now you can check your email in peace.
I'll be on vacation with friends when results come out, so I hope I get good news.

There's always excusing yourself to use the restroom. aka check your phone
This is awesome advice lolI made my friend/classmate check my email for me on match day. I also made my sister open my NAPLEX and MPJE results and my husband open my BCPS results
Just turn it in. If you wait til the last minute you'll look like a total slacker
No kidding. I know I shouldn't be expecting a response this early necessarily, but the fact that I haven't heard anything (my stuff has been complete since the 19th) is making me nervous! I keep scouring over the institution websites looking for some indicator that some movement is occurring in the process. I can't wait to get back to rotations on Monday so I can stop thinking about this every other minute.
For your letter you could take the stance of how actually being in retail you realized you could contribute more to the profession as a clinical pharmacist (mention if you've made interventions, how it's shaped your communication skills, what you've gotten from the past year and how that makes you a stand out candidate)..if you've applied before you could mention that this year confirmed your belief that in order to develop professionally and clinically you know that a residency at X place will help you do that/help you accomplish your goals... Personally I probably would mention the rotations in as equal weight but using them to frame how they gave you a different type of fulfillment you don't get in retail... or something like that.. /end ramble.
Congrats
Thanks!! I'm really excited- and nervous. It's a program I thought was a reach for me. I am thanking my lucky stars and believe everything will unfold the way it's supposed to.
Same here!! so exciting/nerve wracking
It's still pretty early to hear according to past applicants on this site and from people I've known who applied last year, stay positive! I applied to 14 but 7 of the deadlines weren't until jan 10th or later so I'm thinking it could be awhile.
