Predict where you matched-if your bored...
Started by GATORANALYST
I predict I die in my sleep the night before match day.
Come on SH Call it! For ish and giggles.
BTW, I've taken up rugby to pass the time - intense sport, I'm gonna be in great shape by intern year.
~USC~ I'm not planning on moving.
If was taking bets, I'd say Loma Linda.
But I'm not taking bets.
And I'm generally afraid of people who play rugby.
What's the jinx?
Does anyone have "match dreams"?
I've had 3 so far... so far I've matched twice in Boston and once in LA in my dreams... They, however, are not in accordance with my "gut" while awake - and we all know the gut is the second brain. 😉
I hope in RL, it won't be nearly as difficult to check my email as it was in my dream this morning...
Even though I don't believe in the jinx - I'm too chicken to call it on the internet...but I called it to my mother... 🙂

A jinx, in popular superstition and folklore, is:
- A sort of curse placed on a person that makes them prey to large numbers of minor misfortunes and other forms of bad luck;
- A person afflicted with a similar curse, who, while not directly subject to a series of misfortunes, seems to attract them to anyone in his general area.
- An object or animal that brings bad luck.
- A common slang term used when two people say the same thing at the same time (said as a game amongst the young and young hearted which suggests some kind of spooky supernatural interference).
Only one, that I matched at my number 4. No it wasnt a nightmare.. i like the program a lot.

Three weeks ago - it might have been tempting fate to predict the match outcome... but at this point I really do believe the result is "unjinxable." Particularly after programs are informed of their matches. It would be too reality defying to imagine that my predicting that I matched at my #1 - would cause not only my match result to be changed but the program's list to be changed after they've seen it. Of course my second best prediction is my #3...
At what point do you think the jinx is no longer operative... i.e. would you feel comfortable calling it at 11am ET tomorrow?
I was just thinking about this last night. But, due to my irrational anxiety for Monday's magic 'click', I think I'll call it on the same 'click' tomorrow. That's about 4 msec for fate to act, hopefully that won't be enough time to change my result 🙂👍
at least the other specialties have threads addressing unfilled programs, we don't even have that...just pure speculation.
i just hope that mt. sinai shows me some love tomorrow!
good luck everyone.
(i'm not predicting, too scared to mess with fate...or too irrational!)

Is that legal?
Well, in honor of stress-induced schizotypal magical thinking, fate can do anything it wants at any time it wants. It can certainly be retroactive. I think it could even do the job in 4 msec 😉
It's against the nrmp rules, but then again... it's an anonymous forum. In years past, the entire list usually shows up here within 15 minutes of it being posted. This year, the lists were put up in the specialties' forums, but not in the main match one. I guess a lot of us here matched, and thus the list didn't go up here. I can't wait to see it tomorrow, however. There's just no way there could be another Florida this year, right? 🙂
Nika,
I'm confused, what are you saying? I don't mean that in an inflammatory manner, just want to understand.
Thanks in advance!

I have the list right when it came out. Florida filled. But Yale actually had 2 openings in the child/adult psych program and 2 spots in the Stanford gen psych and another 2 in the Stanford Psych/research program. NYU also had 2 spots open.
I just cant wait to see where I'm going...😀
GATORANALYST, what program in California didn't fill except Stanford?
to franklinthedog, I'm sorry , I wonted to say that I have the list not right when it came out (56 positions). I have list at 3.55 PM (5 hours late) (34 positions). 22 already filled.
