Congrats to all of you that matched!

If you did not, keep your chin up. This will just be a bump in the road.

This, So much this. Many people have gone through this before you, and many will go through it afterwards. The vast majority will end up happy, satisfied, fulfilled physicians.

There's a sense of finality to Match Day, but, really - I don't have enough fingers to count the number of friends/classmates who ended up switching before their residency was up. The majority of them switched during intern year or shortly afterwards.

If you didn’t match it’s not the end of the world.

Our 4 prelims all matched this year, and all of them to the specialty they originally applied to. All of them surgical fields.

Matched neurosurgery! Two from KCU!

Also shout out to dumb luck because as hard as we work that’s definitely a part of this whole process. Folks who don’t match - I feel for you big time because of that and this doesn’t reflect poorly on you as a candidate at all. I’m sure one of you will be taking care of me or one of my loved ones someday.

Matched... something. My rotation site was compiling a list of the fourth years who matched and what specialty - everyone was able to tell them a specialty but me. Didn't realize this part of match week would be 100x more obnoxious with a multispecialty app. Still absolutely over the moon that I matched though lol

I've heard four confirmed ortho matches from my school. Don't know much for other competitive specialties.

Yea except this one very big thing that no program worth a damn will rank someone without a step 2ck score before the ROL deadline.............
Your school's requirements or NRMP requirements and your school's verification process don't mean anything(although this is strange because I am 100% positive my school would murder me if I didn't have step2/level 2 in by like December). The vast majority of programs need it in before the ROL deadline, some PD's will drop applicants off the ROL for not having it in by mid February....
Click to expand...

Ummm that’s incorrect. I’ve matched. Had no Step 2 before ROL deadline, nor did some of my co-applicants at my school, we all matched neurosurgery. We all interviewed at all the top programs in the country.

Step 2 as a requirement is program dependent, and most do not have it as a requirement.
ETA: if you don’t have scores in upcoming cycle highly advise an early Step 2. I had the luxury of my Step 2 scores being irrelevant. YMMV

Good luck to all my soap homies out there.

For the rest of us, the wait isn’t really a big deal but it is annoying that the NRMP withholds it from us for no real reason.

I thought the idea was that this way those who SOAP will find a spot by Friday and will get to celebrate with everyone else. So technically someone who SOAPed doesn't have to say they did if they don't want to.

Yeah. Like I mean for me I am pretty tense as I ranked 15 FM programs and WHERE I match to is a pretty big range of great to not so great...

But I think some poor person who SOAPed being able to enjoy match day with the rest of us is a good thing. Hope the SOAP is going well for those who have to do it. According to reddit, unsure of the accuracy, 215 unfilled EM slots which is nuts.

I mean, they could tell people and schools could still have a big reveal party on Friday. Would allow students who didn’t get the place they were hoping for to compose themselves, and the people who soap wouldn’t have to say anything.

Just checked the NRMP portal for... uh... neuroticism purposes and maybe someone has pointed this out already but what a sick joke to put "withdraw" right over "log out". It has always been a scary click.

And how much you wanna bet if you mistakenly click it, it doesn’t even confirm with you before withdrawing. Lol, SMH. Sick indeed. Oh and though I mostly lurk, sooo grateful to say I matched IM (USMD but also a non-citizen)!
