Hate myself a little for asking but does anyone know what the first lines of the email will say if we matched/didn't match? Clearly my coping mechanisms are insufficient because imagining the anxiety of the pause between when I click the notification and the email actually opens is 🙃

I’ve seen screenshots that start off with “this message provides your results in Phase 1 (etc).

Congratulations you have matched!”

Not sure about not matching though 😐 but that first line is likely the same.

Thank you both!!!
 
I haven’t slept a wink. This is awful. I keep telling myself that maybe it will come way earlier than I expect.
 
I barely slept, which is unusual because I’m typically exhausted and fall asleep + wake up at reasonable times. I didn’t have this much sleep disturbance before interviews, when I was also excited/nervous!

Probably depends on what the question is.

Potentially depends on the type(s) of questions. You could reach out to APPIC (their support email is on the website somewhere; I don't have it handy at the moment) if it's about the Match process. There may be a contact for NMS if you wonder if there was some type of mistake, although even in that situation, reaching out to APPIC first is probably the best bet.

If it's about the program you matched with, you can probably ask the training director of the program once the moratorium on contact is lifted later this morning.

I think last year people provided their personal stats which was helpful for me to not panic when I got so many fewer interviews than expected, so I'll do that:

Applied to 15
5 interviews (plus one who said I could rank them but I didn't get an interview)
Matched at my #1

Definitely still in shock!

Agreed - this feels helpful in keeping the whole thing in perspective. Here's mine!

Applied to 10
2 interviews
Matched at #1


Congrats to all who matched! And to my friends and SDN-mates who didn't match - take your time to process and feel your feelings and be gentle with yourself. When you're ready to hear this: Please know that this process and the match results are NOT a representation of you. They are some numbers that get pushed out of an algorithm... a robot's opinion, if you will. You are wise, talented, hardworking, and deserving. A number's game doesn't define you and does not begin to adequately represent the incredible work and dedication that has led you to this point in your doctoral journey. When you're ready, Phase II is on the horizon and it sounds like there will be plenty of incredible and competitive sites anxiously awaiting to hear from you - the talented, amazing clinical-scientists-to-be that you are.

Sending my love and support to everyone - good news or disappointing news. <3

During my year, one of my cohort mates didn’t match so they contacted Greg Keilin himself. She said he was really supportive (and didn’t giving away ranks/preferences of other sites), but essentially let her know she was ranked but others were ranked higher, which is why she didn’t match.
 
Matched at #1! It's still sinking in! I just want to say congrats to all of us for getting through this process. No one really prepares you for the stress and workload of this entire application process. We should all be proud of ourselves for making it this far! Sending everyone virtual hugs on this big day!

We did it!!
