I’ve stopped asking and have just been telling my preceptors when I won’t be in. I told them I won’t be there Monday or Friday next week and they were cool with it.

Same. One of my buddies keeps appeasing his anesthesia attending and asking, which is screwing him. He told the doc “Friday is when we find out where we match and I was hoping to celebrate with family.” Doc- “so you want to leave early then? How does 2 PM sound?” Buddy -“ can we do 12?”

I was laughing my ass off when he told me this yesterday. I’ve been telling him for the past week that he needs to just tell this guy what’s going on, now he’s doing 6/7 days in the OR with this anesthesiologist mainly just sitting.
 
HAve a dream everynight where I get eaten by a bear.

Got Monday off!!

For actual match day, anyone who's asking instead of telling is doing it wrong. I started off the rotation by saying hey I won't be here this day it's match day.

My school has a whole breakfast buffet and open bar planned for us. What whack programs have you guys actually scheduled for rotation on MATCH DAY of all days? It’s more important than graduation!

Ditto... my last day of the rotation is Thursday ahah... didn't even have to explain it to my attending. I didn't ask for Monday off tho
 
a soon to be MD (not DO) on reddit asked what their chance of matching without taking step 2 was...

said they were going to take it after match on monday before they graduate, had 9 interviews.......

Yes I did just neurotically check to make sure all my test scores had been transmitted to programs

We received an email from our school to show our preceptors that we are given the day off as an excused absence if any of them gave pushback.

I'm pretty sure my school would have murdered us if we hadn't taken step 2 by like several months ago???


In unrelated news, I have been learning about cave diving. 10/10 recommend the topic if you'd like a new form of massive anxiety to replace your match anxiety

I don't know if this was a typo or an incredible intentional pun but EXACTLY. I'll do many dangerous things that scare my parents but at least they can rest assured i will never go cave diving

Especially for all you future anesthesiologists, The Rescue on Disney+ is worth a watch. I hope you never have to do pediatric cave anesthesia in your careers tho

No they don’t. NRMP makes no requirements of what scores have to be for someone to be eligible. My school certified me without it. It’s up to your school what requirements they have. My score resulted later in the week.

IMG’s though have to have it in. Part of the process for them to become eligible requires it (from the governing body).

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....

Meta AF.

Mischief. Mayhem. SOAP.

and the NRMP is *not* following the first rule…

I’m making the call early. I feel like I did before I got my Step 1 score and I didn’t sleep that night either.

Fair enough. I’m planning to take some zzzquil and either wake up to a quiet morning and a match email or wake up to a very annoying ringtone that I’ve set for my school if they call me to start planning soap.
 
My strategy is to go to bed very late so I can sleep right up until 8:59 EDT because I do NOT want to be sitting there looking at the clock. Good luck to everyone.
I felt so confident 1, 2, and 3 months ago that I would match somewhere (including the gall to think I had a fair shot at my top 3) but this last week has been bargaining with the NRMP gods in my head that I will be ecstatic to go anywhere. What a process!
