me too.. one interview. i cant open my email still..
So glad this isn't me today. I slept peacefully last night. heheheh
matched
I'd wait
Congratulate to everyone who matched. I received mine at 8 AM. Matched my second choice.
matched with my #1 choice cant believe it!! congrats everyone! anyone my coresident at MUSC??
Matched with #2, which was kind of #1 but I ranked it #2 because of moving and picking the safe choice- hospital I work at. I'm quite pleased. And just looked at the scramble list, for those of you that didn't match there are still a lot of really good programs with available positions, including a couple that didn't invite me for interviews.
looks like the match rate was ~ 65% this year

...And my inbox fills up with programs advertising for unmatched PGY1s and PGY2s...
Just so no one PMs me asking what the programs are, the PGY1 is at VA New Jersey HCS and most of the PGY2s are new psych programs

This thread isn't jumping like the years past. Congratulations guys!
How does the scramble work? I'm telling my friends to contact RPDs for programs they want today and submit to PhorCAS Monday but I honestly don't have a clue what to tell them.
Matched to my #1 by the way, I got a call at 6 am my time when I was in the shower and found out via message. It was a nice surprise considering I had 4 separate dreams last night about matching to my #2-5.

The program called and left a message for you? Wow. I haven't heard that, especially that early.
Welp, some of us had today off and went too hard last night...
matched to my #1
Haven't posted anything in awhile! Matched to my #5.
I haven't heard of programs calling this early either. Either way, I interpret this as a positive.
Congratulations to everyone who matched!
Good luck to those looking to scramble! hang in there..🙂
Matched! And I will be your coresident at MUSC!
matched to my #1 too, but never got an email from the program. i was gonna give it a few days then send them an email if i still never heard back.. or am i supposed to just wait?
In that case you can just shoot them one on Monday.
I think there is nothing wrong with reaching out when you are ready to say a quick "hey, I'm really excited I matched and look forward to working with you" or something along those lines.
My RPD didn't email me match day last year either, (which felt like a bummer personally since I was so thrilled and everyone else was hearing back). Some program directors just do things on their own time...
thank you! i'll shoot them one on Monday. yeah, i feel like everyone's been emailed so i'm over here like, aw.. haha. but that makes sense.
I matched for a PGY-2. That is surprising. I applied to 20 programs and ending up only ranking two due to lack of interviews. Well residencies are like women, you only need one.

What area are you going into? I feel like PGY2 was easier to get and way less stressful.
lol, congrats!! Did you apply to one specialty or a couple?
True. I still stressed, but significantly less.
I think its probably still stressful in the competitive fields.
That's true. I was still stressed but less so I should say. My field isn't uber competitive like critical care and ID and I think there's 8 open spots in the scramble which I think is going to be really hard to get all those spots filled.
I didn't apply as a couple, but I did apply for ID.
i thought programs are not supposed to offer positions until 3/30?
Northwestern in Illinois also told me they already interviewed all the people they are considering.
Programs not waiting until the suggested offer date?
northwestern's 2 spots are for non-traditional residents...
Has anyone not received email from the residency program director yet? I just shoot an email in the morning but haven't receive a reply. Kind of getting worried. Just wondering if there are any cases in the past that the program withdraw their spots due to funding?
To my understanding it was a PGY1 that was 2 years long (non-traditional) because you did 3 month blocks of rotation and 3 month blocks of hospital staffing.
Either way the spots have been filled or they know who they want to fill them. I was just letting people who may have been interested.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Just a heads up, Carolinas Medical Center has filled both of their scramble positions. I just received an e-mail.
