[Steel_City]

Here's my final ROL. Hope I end up at one of these places.

1. Wendy's
2. Burger King
3. McDonalds
4. Chik-fil-et
5. Pizza Hut
6. Waffle House
7. Church's Chicken
8. That other fast-food joint with the flying saucers and outer space theme. I'm ranking them last because they canceled my interview due to the threat of alien invasion.

Wow you guys seem to have made so much more effort than i did to show interest. I just sent thank yous, and responded to letters/phone calls from programs, if i got any. Actually I did the least with my top 2 . I'm worried now. . .

 

[onyX]

insecurity runs rampant...

on the other hand... at least folks can go back and say "I did all I thought I could do (legally!)" hahaaaa....

now I'm desparately trying to imagine who is going to be in my "resident" class. will they be jerks? chill? make me wanna tear their eyes out? or just have a good time training?

it's like high school sports all over again... give 'em a noogie, guys!

Just remember you're in SDN world right now - everyone wants to brag

Don't worry, the overwhelming majority of us did exactly what you did. Take some deep breaths, think of palm trees & sandy beaches, and breath out. Repeat until you hyperventilate, pass out, and wake up on match day.

Ditto. Hopefully rank has more to do with applications and interviews rather than post-interview communication. Otherwise I'm in trouble.

[NN22BB88]

Behind Baylor? Wow....they would be so disappointed

Too many malignant comments from a couple of current residents there (UTSW) that I know very well. No doubt good training - no argument there - just not the right fit for me

you and me both

very interesting lists, however

 

[Steel_City]

Ya know, I was certain that there was one program that I was not going to rank. I chickened out though and stuck it in there as number 12. It's been too simple to just keep pressing "certify list." I keep going back into the website thinking that there is some final step that I am missing. I'm turning into one paranoid dude here. Anyone else going through this "certification anxiety?" Can't wait until 9:00...

 

[ear-ache]

Will not rank: SLU, U Florida, U New Mexico

Noodle,
We met on the interview trail, and I know you are one outstanding dude that is in no danger of scrambling. Having said that, would rather scramble then go to SLU or New Mexico? Did they leave you with that poor of an impression? Just curious.

LOL, i just went back in NRMP and wanted to make sure the green "ROL certified" does mean i have already certified my ROL...

LMAO, me too. Printed it up.

 

[N2b8]

why is it going to take 18 days to let us know? aren't they using computers to process this algorithm?

I'm sure they double and triple check all the results...do a "hand count" to make sure everything checks out. It still sucks, tho.

I'd be happy at any of them. In the end, I just loved Charlottesville and Chapel Hill. First rate towns and excellent programs. Ended up not ranking 4 programs (all in my home state...go figure)

 

[cutdacheese]

rank list:

1 Sinai
2 Columbia
3 NYU
4 UPenn
5 Yale
6-10 Hopefully it wont come down to these... hopefully

I think there's a discrepancy between the rank lists being posted and the poll of the programs ranked #1... at least with regard to the east coast programs. Why are people afraid to post their rank lists? Its not like it matters anymore... if anything it helps 3rd yrs who can start to understand what is going through our minds when we're formulating a rank list.
Good luck to everyone!!!

 

[mms437]

Jefferson
TuFTs
TEmple
Drexel
Suny Brooklyn
St. Lukes
U of Kent
Univ. Of Indiana
UMASS

I believe my quality of life would drop ridiculously if I match anywhere from 8-12. Essentially indifferent between 2-7. Crossing my fingers for #1.
Good luck MSIV's.

 

[BubbleHead]

LMAO, me too. Printed it up.

The Dean had his assistant calling one person in my class that hadn't certified their ROL, then emailed everyone to confirm we had all finalized our lists. Was a nice little touch, seeing as I hadn't touched it since the day after ROL opened.

 

[BubbleHead]

Here's my final ROL. Hope I end up at one of these places.

1. Wendy's
2. Burger King
3. McDonalds
4. Chik-fil-et
5. Pizza Hut
6. Waffle House
7. Church's Chicken
8. That other fast-food joint with the flying saucers and outer space theme. I'm ranking them last because they canceled my interview due to the threat of alien invasion.

You didn't get any tractor truck driving interviews? NETTS New England Tractor Trailer School or 1-800-Over-The-Road???
