So, I'm sure the parallels between the match process and romance are painfully obvious. You look and ask around for the best programs (i.e. ask friends or go on Match.com); send them your application (i.e. ask them on a date); they respond and ask you on an interview (they've excepted your offer and you guys set up the time for the date); you go out (i.e. you interview and have a nice dinner); depending on how traditional you and the program are you'll send e-mails to each other (i.e. love letters); you state your final intentions in a rank order and they do the same; and then you wait for the big day (i.e. the wedding!)!
It really is an interesting process, but I personally thought is was a lot of fun. But I certainly appreciate the anxiety and stress involved for everyone!
In that spirit, I wish all you applicants the best of luck in pursuing your Valentine!
But remember the wise words of Crosby, Stills, and Nash:
"If you can't be with the one you love, honey. Love the one you're with."
