So for everyone that's going into the field. It seems this is about the most competitive it might get. The hype is out there, so people think we're on par with rads or optho (at least the jokers I've talked to).
Cheers to the future anesthesiologists, whether you match now, or in the future. Remember the more people in the field ==> better for the specialty.
