We can create a private facebook page or something so we don't have to be all sercretive about our identities.I'm in!!

Me af.I know...I'm not looking forward to that email (even though I want match day to come tomorrow...weird).
I'm hoping that if I get the "congratulations" email, the word 'congratulations' is visible in the email preview that you see before you click the email open. I would LOVE that because then I could take a breath, relax, and enjoy the moment knowing that I matched somewhere before finding out where I matched. (As opposed to processing matching and the specific site all at once.)
I can't decide how much I hate this idea and how much I love it.We should all take video of us opening our emails on March day kidding!

I was just about to reply that I love your Siamese picture! It's too funny!! My avatar is of my cat, Neal Catfrey (any White Collar fans around here?). ...He still hasn't forgiven me for his Shark Week costume...
Btw- I had NO idea that you could adjust how much of the email is visible! I am definitely going to look into this on gmail!
Also, can we have a thread during internship year, for support <3
I'm starting to binge on chocolate and beef jerky (not together) over here after looking at my site list to make sure you know, it didn't like delete itself or something.
But btw, did ya'll know that some of the Fifty Shades books have been re-written from Christian's perspective? I know what I'm going to do to take my mind offline...I skip over all the dirty parts FYI in case anyone was feeling extra (rightfully) judgmental.
I would just like to thank you all and those frogs for getting me through the last few minutes. Couldn't have done it without y'all!!!
Also, can we all please agree that we keep this thread alive for the next 16 days?!?!

He sent that same email last year - I was on the listserve.I think Greg is definitely reading this thread given this morning’s email about why the match takes 2.5 weeks
To clarify, where I attended internship has come up in conversation, but where on my list I ranked the site never has. As with grad school, the "name brand" of an internship site can matter to an extent, but not always as significantly as people might think.

I'm in!!
I agree with keeping this thread alive but moving it to the real world/FB!! @HappyPhDHopeful
I missed it. I was all, "I'm definitely going to double check that everything is in order and ready to go at 11:30." I tried to sign in on my phone and it wasn't working, and got up to go to my computer, and was actually able to sign in there, but finally realized it was actually already 12:30 Eastern time by then. Oops, lol. Order was as I wished it already anyway, though.I’m glad I’m virtually here with you all.

Yes yes yes yes! I want to know you alllll. I'm aware that makes me sound super creepy, but rankings are in and I'm a little giddy, but also deflated, so that's alright. It would be AWESOME to know who y'all are for like...conferences and consults and future jobs and stuff!
Just created a facebook group called "SDN APPIC applicants 2018-2019." Will leave as a "closed" group for a bit so everyone can find it and request an add, but we can make it a secret group later depending upon everyone's wishes.We can create a private facebook page or something so we don't have to be all sercretive about our identities.
Side note: it's apparently the 20 year anniversary of the computerized Match! Greg has a paper about the transition.
Same! I’ve already spoke to potentialAlso I just checked the NMS APPIC Match page because I was so curious to see what the change was like. It is so official now! **** is getting real!
@LizLemonIsMySpiritAnimal I have also been looking at housing and things to do in the cities where my #wandishsites are! Researching helps me feel more regulated.
I vote do it!Ummm can I join the FB group as a crusty ol’ 2017-2018 intern??? Because I’m in desperate need of forumfam!
Dear Greg,
Thank you for all of your information and support through this process. It is very much appreciated. If you are out there somewhere listening, I just would like to take this opportunity to mention that we REALLY like stats. So, if at any time you feel inspired to tell us things like how many applicants ended up submitting ranks in the end vs. how many withdrew from the match, please do. That being said, we know you are quite busy. Just if you get bored, inspired, antsy, etc..
Hugs and kisses,
Hawkeye
LMAO, what on earth is that from? And yeah, I can't help you on that one....I think I imagine Greg's face as it is because Slaney's post about Mr. Feeney inspired me to do a google image search.Long-time lurker here and big fan of the #forumfam! Please tell me I'm not the only one who imagines Greg as this creepy/endearing swamp creature...
No!!! Greg is Mr. Feeny!!Long-time lurker here and big fan of the #forumfam! Please tell me I'm not the only one who imagines Greg as this creepy/endearing swamp creature...

Annnnnd now it clicked.Now I'm seeing him sitting in front of a computer painting and drinking Bailey's from a shoe. >.<
I didn't, but can't say what I might have done if I remembered my time zone and eastern time are 2 different things *before* the deadline.I saw that too, and immediately thought, “we’re the 20th cohort to go through this process.” I held a moment of silence for the people in the other 19 years.
On a side note, I don’t see anyone posting that they impulsively changed a ranking minutes before the deadline... just me?

Thank you for this!Unfortunately I wasn't able to see the word congratulations in my preview - I hoped the same thing.
However, when I did open it, I looked for that word first (it's in bold blue font) and took a huge sigh of relief before I went on to read where I actually matched. My husband was like, "Congratulations what??? Where is it???"
For those anxious and/or curious (that's all of you, let's be honest), here's what it looked like:

I just burned sage incense to get rid of the ex-fiancés energy in here. I feel so relaxed! I forgot how awesome this stuff can be.
