I already looked at apartments near my top 3

I am *seriously* over being a med student. I hate this short coat with a passion.

As a future EM doc, I’m ready to say goodbye to the white coat forever after my remaining 8 weeks of rotations.

As a fellow owner of a terrible jaw, I’m anticipating a lot of tension in the week leading up though lol. My flares past this year have coincided pretty much exactly with ERAS submission/first few weeks of invites and then the peak of my interview season. I’ve been doing good since I finished interviews but it’s starting to come back…

EVERY DAY I GET ONE.

And I keep hearing these stories of applicants getting pushy calls from PDs trying to manipulate you into ranking them higher. Its making me feel very unloved.

And ugh. There is nothing I can do about this now, but it took me a while to realize my top program was my top program and did not send an LOI. I feel a bit badly about the whole thing. Like to think I am a good candidate for my field otherwise...

I haven't gotten anything either and it's taking a lot of my energy not to overthink it.

Might ask this again after the match, but what are the prices ranges you're looking at for rent? Even just 2 years ago in the area you could get a decent 2 bedroom apartment for $1500/month now it's $2000, which is absurd. Seems like I'll have to put off paying student loans to live more comfortably during residency.

yeah I'm struggling with this too - but in some of the cities i might end up in, those prices barely get you a 1/1 😭 It's kind of making me hope I match my number 4, far from family but the best rental market of most of my top places based on my stress zillow stalking

My top 3 are mid-sized cities and I am looking for a studio or 1BR. Top of my budget is $1500-1600, seems doable where I've looked. This is butting up against the 30% on rent rule but I have decided that 7 years of living in crappy apartments to save money is enough. Time for a little lifestyle creep for me! I am so excited (as long as I match)!

South Florida. 2.5-3k for a one bedroom lol. We are hoping to buy since this is where we want to end up permanently if I match here.

Are claims about getting "ranked to match" emails a myth/troll attempt or does this actually happen? I always thought it was NRMP policy that correspondence like that from programs is a violation on their side?

I've gotten one email from a program confirming I was ranked but no reference as to whether I am 4th or 104th so it basically says nothing. I would give anything to have gotten something that says where I am on any list like others apparently have.

It's not against the rules. It's against the rules for you to ask them where you're ranked or for them to ask you where you ranked them. Either party can tell the other voluntarily where they've ranked them.

I think it’s only a violation if they asked you how you rank them.
 
That’s like you telling a program they are your number 1 in a LOI. It’s not against the rule but it’s not allowed to ask the other party where they rank you.
 
Ok so if it says certified, paid, verified there's nothing else we need to do right? I just have that feeling of anxiety that I'm missing things. Have the 3 green words, but just wanna make sure lol.

I basically had my rank list made throughout my interviews, submitted it early after it opened with only minor changes. Didn't really think about it since. The knowledge that today is the last day is seriously messing with me and I feel so nervous now. Ahhhhh.

Yup. I just have that itching feeling I did something wrong and won't match because of it.

I know our ROLs are due tonight, is it the same for programs as well?
 
Our futures are officially in the hands of the NRMP match algorithm.

From what I gathered, they have to make sure it is right by running the algorithm multiple times to see if they get the same results every time. Also, once the results are in, they need time to compute the preliminary match statistics, so they can also release it on match week.

I don't understand why we have a month to rank. Trimming that to 2 weeks and then moving match day up so it's early March would be nice.

I remember a lot of you guys back when we were all applying to med school together (even bumped into some of you IRL). Glad to see us on the other side and now on the cusp of matching into residency! The next 15 days are going to fly by!

What does partially unmatched means? How will someone be partially unmatched? Can someone please explain this?

Certain fields you have to apply for intern year (in medicine /transitional year/surgery ) separately from your field of choice . Eg. Anesthesia, derm, rads, Pm&r , rad onc . So if you only match your advance program or only match your intern year program then you will be partially unmatched.
