no, i don't know where i matched yet, but i'm bored like the rest of you and starting this thread will at least occupy me for a few minutes. hopefully people want to post where they match tomorrow, but i certainly understand those who don't. it's tough to be anonymous when there are 3 residents in a class and you're one of them. that said, i am curious to see where everyone else matches, so i hope to see a lot of posts. best of luck to everyone tomorrow for a succesful match.
 
I can't believe it's tomorrow. I'll be posting my results, regardless of where I end up, but it may take me awhile to get to a computer.

Good luck ya'll!
 
I golfed 18 holes today to pass the time until tomorrow...the first course opened up at 9am...with 38 degree temps, fog and wind.
 
You all probably matched great. If you're reading and posting here at SDN, you already have a leg up on your competition.
 
I passed the time in lab, troubleshooting my stupid phage library... then hit happy hour... 🙂

Congratulations to everyone who has matched in pathology this year!!! I'm glad to hear from those of you who are excited and relieved by your match results. 👍
 
Cedars-Sinai!!! My #2

I am so glad this worked out the way it did. Even though I had UCSD #1 I got scared when I heard they only filled 1 out of 5 spots. I can't help but be happy with their unsuccessful match when they didn't even rank me!

Congrats to everyone!
 
🙂I matched at U. Maryland, my first choice. I'm so relieved and so happy.🙂
 
University of Virginia--my number one!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so excited, cause UVA has the coolest residents!!! 🙂

Whoa there! It's too early to start the brown-nosing. You'll have plenty have opportunities starting in July.

Congrats and welcome to Cville!

Guess I should stop order on those chocolate and fruit gift baskets I sent to ya'll 😀

In all seriousness, I'm very excited about moving to Charlottesville. It's going to be nice to jog outside without worrying about getting mugged!
 
Considering the lousy experience I imagine many interviewees had, UMN still filled. Surprises never end.

I hope faculty doesn't use that as reason to maintain the Saturday group interview next year... 👎

Hey, wait, shouldn't you be at the Molly's-O'Malley's-OCB triad right now?

Heh, I was, much earlier in the evening... but having a kid has ruined my alcohol tolerance, so after an entire afternoon of celebrating I had to be driving home and propped up in bed with my laptop to log on to SDN... 🙂

Match day and Molly's legendary "Big Arse Beer" both fall on a Thursday? Coincidence? I think not...

Yeah, my group interview at UMN was one of my more memorable experiences, and I mean that in a bad way.👎

When I interviewed there, it was just three 1 on 1 interviews.

They do feed you lunch at the Capital Grille. That was nice...
