2012: Where am I going for residency thread

[oldbearprofessor]

Greetings to those awaiting some piece of paper tomorrow that will change your life forever.

Please use this thread to tell us where you match on March 16th. If you are too concerned about using your usual user name for this (why?) then, I hereby dispose you to make a new account for the sole purpose of posting your match on the thread. Let the SDN pedi contacts thrive!

As in the past, if you matched at "my" institution, and it is posted on this thread, you will receive a PM from me welcoming you to "my" institution.

Also, please remember, both on SDN and the real world, that, even in pedi, not everyone matches or matches where they "want" to go. I got my third choice (30 years ago...) and it worked out fine. But, it is okay to be unhappy with your match. It will work out, but, that doesn't mean you don't have a right to be upset if you don't get what you want.

In any case, I look forward to hearing from all the lurkers and regulars tomorrow.

Last year's thread for those interested.

Buena suerte, G'luck, bonne chance, etc to you all!

First of all congratulations to everyone matching, hope you'll all be excited about where you're going!
I feel incredibly blessed having prematched at what would otherwise have been number 1 on my match list. I'll be going to CHKD/EVMS next year, and I really hope to see some of my fellow SDN'ers there!

Have fun celebrating tomorrow!

Coming from a former Cinci resident...Between the Graeter's and all the free conference and on-call food, you will easily pack on 30-lbs during your 3-year residency.

I do not recommend Cinci chili though (GoldStar, Skyline, etc). It has a strange blend of cinnamon+chocolate, that does not taste like "real" chili if you're used to Tex-Mex.

Going to the University of Rochester, and so pleased as it was my 1st choice.

I have been in Utah for the past 7 years, and my husband has been living in upstate NY for the past 5. This takes us from 2000 miles apart to 90 miles apart. I could not be more excited.

 

[Irina73]

I'm packing up for Inova Fairfax, my 1st choice. I can't wait to get started. This program seemed to have the happiest bunch of residents and a good reputation for sending residents to fellowships.

 

[Member2102012]

Matched at CHOP!

 

[WaityKaty]

A little late, I know, but I'm another one for Cincinnati Children's!! My number one and absolutely the best place for me. So excited! Congrats, everyone.
