Tomorrow?
Did you match? Been wondering about you!
Just still stunned and humiliated because, I did not match. But hopefully I'll be able to find somewhere that wants me tomorrow or Wenesday...
I'm staying up and will go to the principal's office (aka Dean Sunshine) this afternoon to figure out what I need to do tomorrow.

Hope you won't be too shocked on Thursday and go straight into labor. I will find out via email since I am an IMG doing residency in my home country (Germany). No big ceremony.Today was the big day for me. I am just thrilled I matched (pediatrics) with only 4 interviews. I barely don't care anymore where I am going to end up now. I liked all the places though. I am just glad it finally paid off doing my German exams at the same time as Step 1-Step3 all in one year. I am mostly happy because no more ultra-long-distance-relationship with my American boyfriend!!! Good luck with Thursday and the baby!congrats to those who matched, and good luck tomorrow for those who didn't. I'm hoping I make it to thursday's ceremony- 38 wks pregnant and imminently awaiting baby. It would not be as fun to get the email in the hospital.
you know there are some of us....... that are just not that good... were not the top in our class, were not the top in our board scores, and I guess were not that good at interviewing either..... Medicine is like natural selection, some people get eliminated due to their inability when comes to their knowledge, empathy, and stupid board scores....... applied to relistic programs..... it goes to show you that I am just not good enough I guess.........I will probably fit in that 1-2% of people that do not fill a spot!!!!!

How can you any good come out of this..... most of all the spots will be taken.......I just want to toss in the towel right now and accept the fact that I am just one of those students that fits into 1-2% that do not match! THis is how it has always been!

i will not have access to the list of unmatched programs tomorrow, not having registered through nrmp (as i was going straight into the scramble)...if anyone will have access to the list tomorrow when it was released, i would appreciate it so so much if you could send it to me as an act of compassion....
thanks
that's not true, you only have to have submitted one application through eras in order to participate in the scramble....i'm eligible to participate in the scramble (as i submitted an application), and will....you cant just go straight into scramble. you had to registered for the match. plus, it's an apparent violation to distribute said list until nrmp does so.

also, as far as i understand, the student affairs offices aren't allowed to share the info, i don't know if that is true for participants

To Scramble, you must meet the following
requirements:
Registered with the NRMP by Feb 23, 2011;
Applied to at least one program through ERAS by
March 11, 2011.
Satisfied all outstanding balances in ERAS by
March 11, 2011.
I think you're mistaken. I don't have time right now to look thru the NRMP guidelines, but my school has told us muliple times that you absolutely cannot scramble unless you are NRMP registered. You have to have applied to one program through NRMP, *not* just ERAS and have not matched to be eligible to view the list. How else can you access the list unless you do it through NRMP anyway?

Per the AAMC:
This is correct. Unfortunately, it is a match violation for anyone to give you the list. Not to mention that those with access to the list are likely to be too busy trying to scramble then post it. And, if someone does share the list and the NRMP notices, then they could lose any spot they have found. So, all in all, you're in a tough spot. Best option is to review last year's match data and look for programs with large numbers of unfilled spots -- hopefully they will have unfilled spots this year and you can contact them.unfortunately, my school didn't tell me that....i consulted with eras, and the fact is that in order to scramble, you have to have submitted one application through eras....they confirmed for me today that i am able to scramble still. the issue is that i won't have access to the list of unmatched programs.

Ah, gotcha. I guess what my school was saying is that you can't see the list of unfilled programs unless you had registered for the NRMP. Technically you can still scramble by submitting your stuff through ERAS again but you can't see the list of programs.
I have bolded and italicized the caveat for people who did register who were planning on 'helping out' someone who didn't. From the ECFMG website (since it popped up first on Google):
"If you wish to participate in the Scramble only, you must obtain an ERAS Token; register at MyERAS; register with NRMP; and apply to at least one program. We strongly urge you to apply to a program at least two weeks prior to the Scramble.
The Scramble starts on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time in the United States, when the list of programs with unfilled positions is posted on the NRMP website, and ends on Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 12:00 noon, Eastern Time in the United States. Once the list has been posted, you may apply to any program with an unfilled position. You will not have access to the list of unfilled programs if you did not register with the Match; refer to the NRMP website for its policies. The Match Agreement prohibits applicants from sharing NRMPs List of Unfilled Programs with individuals who did not register with the Match."
yeah, if you look at pages 37-39 regarding the scramble, it does not specify having registered with nrmp as a requirement.
https://www.aamc.org/download/139506/data/myeras_user_guide_residency.pdf
in fact, it says, regarding the scramble: "If you decide to register with the NRMP to participate in the Match..." (Bold is mine for emphasis.) Saying "if" does not seem to commensurate with it being an absolute requirement to participate in the scramble.

This is the system for next year. Doesn't apply this year.

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers, and best of luck with the last two endless days!
