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.
2 bedrooms im looking at are 6k-8k *subsidized housing* lolz. So it depends *and yes no way im paying that*
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
NYC?? or where??
Yup. Obviously they are more adorable options just hoped I could have a nicer spot close to the hospital for once.
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)!
Just got one lol
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.
Not me, and since lists are due I don’t think I’m getting one!
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.
Same and its really effing with my head
It was a program that's ranked 10+ on my list right now so I basically shrugged it off.
....are we supposed to reply to them??
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?
the die is cast
just having a mild attack of the sudden WHAT IFS now nbd
The idea that the algorithm is probably being run today....ahhhh
It prob is lmao also makes me wonder why tf we have to wait 2 weeks. the algo takes 2 seconds
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.
will give someone 50$ if they call the company that does it and see if they can find out where they matched
There are 2 match day films if yall want to get the blood pumping before the big day. "this didn't make me cry, i just had allergies while watching"

I assumed it was just run yesterday lol. Like they just plug stuff in and thats it
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!
These SOAP emails need to chill lol. I freak out everytime
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.

Makes me wonder if I should read up on how SOAP week actually works. Like just in case...?
Itd be a good idea to, because the process is very different than what I thought
I'm feeling... lost, I guess?
I'm tired of just watching TV/movies, reading books, and playing video games. I'm on a rotation but it's super light. I'm feeling kind of cooped up. I thought about being productive and studying but I have a multispecialty app and don't know what I'm gonna be when I grow up yet, so... idk.
I've kinda been low-key house/apartment shopping, but all of my programs are so spread out and I have a mix of categorical and advanced, so I don't even know if I'm renting for one year or buying outright, so... idk.
So ready for all of this to be over. Wish they could at least tell us what specialty we're matching on Monday in that initial email.

Meanwhile my preceptor is planning on keeping me 8-5 until the end of April. Rip.
Dude lmao what??? Cant u just like tell him no and just leave at like 2? what is he/she gonna do?
I tried. I straight up asked if he was ok with me not showing up or coming a couple of times a week. Didn't work out.
For those who were wondering why it takes so long for the NRMP to run the match algorithm
"I've seen numerous memes this week making fun of the NRMP for holding on to the match algorithm results for 2 weeks in between certifying rank lists and releasing results. See @drglaucomflecken for the best one, of course.
But the truth is that the NRMP is not to further torture students. As always, there is a method to the seeming madness.
💥Here’s the explanation straight from the #NRMP
Between the Rank Order List Certification Deadline and Match Day, the NRMP conducts a rigorous review of Match data, including:
.
1️⃣Assessing and confirming the integrity of the data
2️⃣Conducting a final verification of applicants’ credentials
3️⃣Withdrawing applicants who are ineligible for the Match
4️⃣Transferring the data from the R3 system to the matching algorithm module, rechecking the data, processing the algorithm, and transferring data back into the R3 system
5️⃣Verifying the results of a Match and transferring the data into the NRMP databases
6️⃣Verifying applicants’ credentials for SOAP participation in the Main Residency Match
7️⃣Preparing 50,000 individual Match Week reports for applicants, PDs, and med schools
All of this takes time, checks, and re-checks to ensure accuracy and fairness."

Omg that is so annoying. Im so sorry that stinks 🙁
“Oh so you don’t want me to refer ANY patients to your group for the next 3 years. Got it.”
Do we think I'll be able to get Monday off lol
