crazy to think that tmr at noon our lives take a major change

I love how our schools already know and the programs find out later today but we have to wait until tomorrow. It’s us this news has the biggest impact on yet we are the last to find out about it.

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Is there a way to find this list or is it only available for ppl who soap?

Only for those who SOAP.

thought the schools already know?? 8am today

Wait what?? I didn't know schools find out this much before us. What is the purpose of them knowing where we matched..

Damage control

Just kidding, not really sure why they get to know

These rounds of SOAP bring back memories of being picked for sports teams in elementary school...

Question about my match scenario: I have matched but of course won't find out until friday where. I have learned that my #1 ranked program (which is my home program) still has 1 spot available for SOAP. Does this mean that I can be confident this residency program will be the name in the envelope I will open on friday??? Is there any reason why they wouldn't rank all Interviewed applicants (me)?

So, yes, you likely matched there.

However, I will say that there are some programs which know that there are going to be a few legends like @dj-Roomba who got unlucky in applying to a competitive specialty who will be available in the SOAP, and thus they make the calculus that below a certain point on their ROL they would be OK with gambling that they could get an all-star via SOAP. This would be an especially brutal twist of the knife coming from your home program... but at least theoretically, that is why a program would not rank all interviewed applicants.

 

[EMDoc22]

Guys our programs already know we're on their roster. I hope wherever I matched is happy to have me!

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Oscillating between I matched my top 3 and I matched the last on my list. Ahhh.

Oscillating between I matched my top 3 and I matched the last on my list. Ahhh.

I’ve confirmed that I’m definitely in my top 10

How we holding up, fam?
I’ve done really well this whole time but today I’m finally panicking.

I'm kinda relax because of my 13 programs, I would only really be disappointed if I fall down to 12 or 13. I was more worried about the matching email on Monday.

 

[DrStephenStrange]

Lol do you also have 10 programs on your ROL?

 

[DrStephenStrange]

Seeing all the poor souls on twitter still without a program after soap is demoralizing.

 

[Chelsea FC]

Lolz seeing so many people getting their match communication from their program early. Ruining the match surprise.

where you seeing this?

 

[DrStephenStrange]

where you seeing this?

Twitter. It's only people that SOAPed that know where they are going.

 

[Chelsea FC]

where you seeing this?

Reddit, spreadsheets and discord lolz.

 

[Chelsea FC]

Twitter. It's only people that SOAPed that know where they are going.

No, people who match fully are getting post match communication early by mistake.

 

[fldoctorgirl]

No, people who match fully are getting post match communication early by mistake.

I think it's likely just one program that effed up. It's a match violation technically.

 

[Steve_Zissou]

Lol do you also have 10 programs on your ROL?

I got 9 😏

Nah seeing people in def specialties reporting it. Match violation but prob just a innocent mistake

Gettin tipsy with my family, has been v good def recommend

Tbd how well I sleep tonight though

 

[Chelsea FC]

Stying up all night playing Pokémon game 😬🤕

 

[Deecee2DO]

cant sleep gang?? anyone?? lolzz

 

[TelemarketingEnigma]

I had three separate dreams last night: one where I matched my number 1, one where I matched a program that doesn’t even exist in a place I don’t want to be, and one where there was a glitch and no one got any results

So I think that’s all the bases covered

 

[EMDoc22]

Happy Match Day y’all. Here’s to everyone matching their #1 today!

 

[WhittyPsyche]

cant sleep gang?? anyone?? lolzz

PST here: have been up since 1:30 AM.

 

[SurfingDoctor]

Good luck folks. No matter where you end up... it's only a couple of years, so keep the chin up.

 

[TelemarketingEnigma]

LESS THAN ONE HOUR

I love mimosas, btw

 

[sunshinefl]

Being on this side of it, we are over here counting down too waiting to see our interns! Everyone is really excited!! We put together a welcome packet from us interns to them, to send out with the initial emails from the program. And set up a meet and greet for next week!

I know it doesn’t compare with the mix of anxiety, excitement, and achievement I had last year. It’s more like just full blown bubbling over with excitement!!!

I can’t wait to meet our new interns!!

 

[voxveritatisetlucis]

When do most residencies start after graduation?

 

[WhittyPsyche]

Good luck folks. No matter where you end up... it's only a couple of years, so keep the chin up.

…or 7

 

[MDMechEngr]

You will match your top 3 my Haitian bro. GL and congrats.

Though I lived in 2 different places for PGY1-3 and 4-7, it goes by remarkably fast. And that's even considering that one of those places was Texas...🤢

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Matched my #1. I'm shocked.

 

[BioPsychotic]

2022 match rate for US DO seniors was 91.3%, the highest it has ever been!

 

[Osteosaur]

Went down my list a little. Sort of sad I didn't get my #1 or #2 but the rest were interchangeable. Nice people where I am at. Just stings a bit.

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Baller matches from my classmates. Can't believe we're here already!!

 

[Dral]

Went down my list a little. Sort of sad I didn't get my #1 or #2 but the rest were interchangeable. Nice people where I am at. Just stings a bit.

Back in my day, I opened up my email on Monday and found out I didn't match with 15 programs ranked. That not only stung, but it felt like getting hit upside the head with a two by four.

You are going to get great training and be a great doc. You won't think twice about this in a few years. I get there could be some disappointment based on location, program, etc...but you're still in a great position and have a job for next year!

For me, I was worried about even getting a spot. I didn't get to go celebrate with everyone else (I think I just laid around for about two weeks straight in a pseudo-depression). That is the one thing I regret. I feel I was robbed of that. You haven't been, so get out there and celebrate with your friends/family! Congrats!

Yeah no I get that. I am very grateful for my spot! And its nothing compared to people who had to SOAP or scramble.

I suppose it feels a bit like being blindsided by a place where I did a sub-i, thought I had a good relationship with and all. Those feelings will pass.

I went through the exact same thing two years ago. It’s hard, but you will find a reason to love your program.

When that sort of thing in general happens to me, I make up a narrative about it. For instance, the place you did the Sub-i loved you and wanted you there, but they had some of their own people they needed to take care of and there was maybe some nepotism thing that happened. They had you ranked high, but they ended up matching all their people really high as well and they barely missed you.

It helps make it not seem personal.

Literally the same.

I got passed over for both IR and DR at a place where I did an audition, I'm local, and I'm within their board score range - they didn't match me, and I fell down to my #10.

I am so upset my #1/#2 (where I did aways) passed me over. I'm angry that my #3, where the PD was "obsessed" with my work experience and seemed like he was really trying to sell the program to me, passed me over. I am SO EXCITED to be a radiologist. I did an away in the city where I matched but not at this program, but I matched it anyway and I loved it there.

So I am STOKED about both my prelim and TY. I matched reasonable cost of living areas in places that I've been to before and loved. But I feel like so many people lied to me. It's such a complicated set of emotions.

BUT I AM GOING TO BE A RADIOLOGIST!!!! 😍

 

[Ganon]

WOOOO LETS GO BABY

 

[EMDoc22]

I got my #1, I’m so excited and happy!!!! Congrats everyone, we did it!!!!

 

[The wise one]

Matched at my number 4. I am grateful!
