Didn't rank umass, uconn, or bu. Cancelled a couple others. Hopefully that wasn't a mistake....feeling like my list is a tad short now. All of the "love" Pitt got this year in the threads definitely made me more nervous about my top choice! Haha.
 
What the hell:

1. UPMC (Noticed this was on a lot of your lists)
2. Wake Forest
3. U Maryland
4. Tufts
5. BU
6. St Elizabeth's
7. Maine Medical Center

I really want Wake, but Pitt is more convenient for my husband. It's also awesome.

(2) Wake
(3) Hopkins
(4) Vandy
(5) UPMC
(6) Columbia
(7) Mayo- Rochester

(9) UT- Houston

Cancelled a bunch, hopefully get one of my top 2
 
really interesting to see how different the lists are...the geographic bunching seems to really predominate....some programs though seem to be super popular regardless....

I had a tough time making my list and many seemed like a coin toss. At first I told myself I'd be happy anywhere (except the last two), but I'm starting to fall in love with the idea of my top two choices. I really hope I'm not setting myself up for a disheartening match day despite the fact that matching anywhere should be an honor. Is that happening to anybody else?
 
Figured I'd contribute after lurking for so long and now that the madness is over.

Yes I know. I went on WAY too many interviews. Was planning to couples match but then decided not to.

Advanced over Categorical where possible (really want one of my top couple TYs).

1) MGH
2) Hopkins
3) Penn
4) BID
5) Brigham
6) Columbia
7) Yale
8) WashU
9) Cornell
10) OHSU
11) UW
12) UPMC
13) Chicago
14) Northwestern
15) Michigan
16) Utah
17) Virginia
18) Emory
19) Dartmouth
20) CCF

Good luck! Hopefully, we all get our top choices. With this ROL spread, we might be able to.
 
Lol, I think you may have missed 1 or 2 of the top 20. Seriously, that's quite the list, congrats. Hope you match.......

Ditto man... At this point the decision has been made and our destinies determined. Just a matter of waiting 3 weeks to find out.

Long three weeks....I joined this crossfit competition just to have something to do other than dwell on where I will end up...haha ridiculous...Im getting married in may and i swear the majority of the conversations between my fiance and i are more about the match than the wedding. Terrible. Maybe if I was a chick the wedding planning would be enough to keep me occupied.

Yep I know exactly what you mean. That and re-evaluating your ROL and second guessing some decisions. These 3 weeks are not going to go by fast enough.
 
St. Luke's appears to be quite popular this year. Well from the small sample size we have going on so far.

The CrossFit Open is easily the best few weeks of the year. Hope those burpees treated you well.
 
Hope you get Wake, too! It is a great program :)

Haha glad to see somebody else out there knows what it is. Just got home from doing the open at the local box. Burpees are awful. Might submit myself to another beating again tomorrow to squeeze out another two or three. Seems like it would earn me a ton more points. I'm like 210lbs though so they're miserable. We had a blast today as a group. Tons of fun. At this rate match day will be here in no time.
 
It is a true beating! Did the 7 min from hell on thurs and this morning...why do we do this to ourselves?!

ok so was it worth doing it again?

First time I went at a steady pace. I'm thinking about doing intervals of eight every thirty seconds (finish 8 in 25 sec, rest 5 sec, start another set). Just a little experiment to see if it works out better. I did "fight gone bad" after the open today though so I might be smoked for the burpees tmrw.

btw did the rank list thread just turn into crossfit open thread? haha...wonder if there are a bunch of people in the anesthesia world that partake in crossfit.
