2005: Where did you match at?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Should I be paranoid about revealing who I am? Is my PD going to take me aside and say,"You are embarrasing this institution..."

I thought about this too. And then I decided my PD is too busy and too cool to care 🙂

Your PD is a darling. I honestly think he's seen much worse in his 20+ years!

Andy, WHY would there be a thread on the match in pre-allo? Think about it. :laugh:

Well because the premeds are all uppity about going to a premier name institution so that they can slack in med school but still be entitled to the residency of their dreams.

That has what to do w/ match day threads?

Cuz match day threads tell people where med students at certain med schools match at. I suppose premeds would think more highly of med schools where all the graduates matched at cream of the crop name residency programs.

Ooh...look at Duke med school. 40 out of their 90 graduates matched at Hopkins! This must be a good med school. I wanna go there! 🙄

When I was in college I had never even heard of the match. Seriously.

I heard of the match in college. I thought it was some dating game in med school.

Oooh. 5 of your former classmates are moving to Seattle. Are any of them eligible bachelors? :laugh:

No clue. I don't know these people. My real classmates graduated & matched 3 years ago.
 
yep, and some of them are on TV (there was a series of shows filmed at U of M hospitals called "First Days")

Hmm... how come the "Baghdad Charity Hospital" pulls up zero hits when you Google it? Just curious. 😉

What I don't understand is how come the list has been allowed to float around so long within this circle of self-proclaimed anal-retentives without someone proof-reading it.

Not to criticize jeff2005's spelling or anything - I think she did an awesome job compiling all that info in one place!

Try googling Yarmuk General Hospital, the real name is much longer and in Arabic, but basically it was a free hospital in the central downtown area. Believe it is now controlled by the Red Crescent Society.

I'm a poor speller. Sorry.
 
I am going to the Cleveland Clinic Foundatoin 🙂 quite excited.

Congrads to everyone on matching and best of luck! (hopefully see you at meetings.)
 
I like the list organized by institution better. Then you can see who's going to be at the same place. We've got 3 for Cleveland Clinic. I'm still all alone at Iowa. 👎

Yeah...it looks like CC, Emory, and UCSF are the popular choices here this year. 🙂

I am all alone too. I think one of the people who matched here is a lurker but I am not sure. I know who they all are though...(proper use of ellipse?)

I have a good buddy, a Hungarian Molecular Pathologist, there, tell him you can play poker. Thats the code phrase. He is this old world kinda of dude who somehow bought a 911 porsche with a resident's salary, suspicious for damn sure. Hold it, now that I think about he must know Jill too. :laugh: :laugh:
 
Very nice Havarti. Isn't there supposed to be a new addition for the Cleveland Clinic? I'm feeling too lazy to add it myself.

I expected to see more Penn matches on this list. I thought there were at least several Penn MSTPs cruising around on SDN path. And according to the MSTP match thread in the MSTP forum, there are 4 Penn MSTP's that matched at Penn. On that note, I'm curious as to how many of the 10 slots at Penn were filled by Penn grads cuz apparently there were like 7 or 8 Penn seniors all applying to Path this year.

Wow. We had 9 or 10 med4s at my school going into path. Although some ended up at the same place, most were focused on going to different institutions, fortunately.
 
I am one of those Penn MSTP folk (and I did list that I am staying at Penn). There are four MD/PhD's who are staying from Penn. The other six residents who matched at Penn are not from Penn med school. It seems that initially there were 8-10 Penn people applying for pathology this year, but two or three decided to work in a lab/get a job for a year or two before joining, one isn't doing a residency at all anymore, one decided on radiology instead.

good stuff man. congrats on your match at Penn. i'm sure residency will be even that much better since you know almost half of your classmates pretty well already.
 
I have been looking at the match lists in the general residency forum and there are some schools that have lots of seniors going into path, but a lot have none. Of course, I am never sure if when people post match lists they just leave out the pathologists because they figure no one cares and they just want to see how many ophtho and derm matches there are so they can "grade" the schools based on match list ("grade" being computed with # of derm + # of ortho + # of rads at a "top 10" school + # ENT + # neurosurg + # surg and/or medicine at a "top 10" or California school.) :laugh: They are all such sheep.

yep and if you try really hard, you can figure who some folks are here...well not always, but you can sure narrow things down.

**** anonymity anyway, i say.

I guess I should be make the most of the fact that this practice of publishing Match Lists stops short of the 49th Parallel. Thus I can continue to make a complete ass of myself here 😎

yeah but people now know what you look like. so when you make a complete ass of yourself, they will associate your behavior with your face.
