My list is finally submitted. Very torn between a few places, but it's all over now. Good luck to everyone!

Good luck to us all indeed!

Did anyone else have a moment of panic right after the buzzer went off? I looked at my watch, realized that it was 15 minutes after the deadline, and broke into a sweat...

even though I had already checked and re-checked my list about 20 times.

I just kind of wish they sent out emails on the deadline day, confirming that your list was certified and you were going to be enrolled in the match. Yes, I realize I am not in kindergarten, but I still like a little hand-holding and reassurance now and then.

yeah, I had to check this morning to make sure that my list was what I wanted it to be and was officially certified. I felt quite OCD about the whole thing.

I went to dinner with my fiance last night and we were both so paranoid about my list....kept on checking it on the iPhone....

Also, as i'm writting this message...i'm checking it again..hehehe.

My entire class got an E-mail from our person in student affairs saying that as of this morning, everyone had a certified list and there were no problems with our lists. 👍

Made my list and certified it back in January, but when I read this thread I broke out in a near cold sweat and just had to check . . . Ahhhhh, you have to love the irrationality of it all

 

[buckley]

I actually didn't check...and you guys made me break into a sweat...

Anyone else second guessing their decision(s)? I was pretty confident about my #1 but agonized over 2-5 all week.... up until last night I found myself soul-searching about location versus quality, proximity to friends and family versus "being daring" and moving further away. I wish I could say I was at peace with things, but I'm not ..... maybe I would have felt this way no matter how I ordered my choices, but I just can't seem to find peace. Part of me thinks I made errors in judgment, part of me is happy with the order. There was no way to simulate how I was going to feel at 9:01, and suddenly there the time was, leaving me feeling empty.

I guess it's hard letting go of this whole process after sweating it for so long......

it sounds like you have some buyer's remorse. residency is a big purchase. but now you just have to let it go and do whatever it is you need to do to tide yourself over until the match, when you can restart planning your life.

i think it's important to realize there is no single perfect path. there are many paths that your life can take to get you where you want to be. if these programs were so interchangeable in your mind last week, i'm sure you will like any of them fine. it is hard to believe, but the match actually works. people end up in a program they like that likes them. i'm sure you'll be fine!

dont worry...for all you know, you could be matching into your number 1 spot...🙂

im actually a little relieved that it's off my hands now...i never did change my ROL. i fought all urges and impulses to rehash...im just thinking, life's gonna put me where it wants me...or so i tell myself! teeheehee!
