NRMP Site Slow?? DO trouble!

I am sitting here with less than 24 hours to go before I can get online to the NRMP website and check where I matched into EM. But I can't help but be pissed at my own school because even though some 75% of my class is matching ACGME, we have no official means of being notified about where we match. No parties, no ceremonies, no envelopes, and in fact the school is closed for spring break. Anyone else looking forward to hitting "refresh" a thousand times to figure out where they are matching? All I can hope for is that the server for NRMP does not crash and the few poor bastar*ds in my position will not all be trying to get the loot at one moment. Wouldn't that suck to crash the server and have to wait another day or two?!!

My first match day, when I graduated from UAMS in Little Rock, was held in a local bar. Our names were called at random, and we all trooped across the little stage, one by one, tore open the envelope, and announced to all where we were all going. I had done the military match, so I didn't even bother opening my envelope on stage, just said I was headed to Portsmouth. Nothing quite like having a full buzz on with your dean in attendance.

Each person dropped a dollar in a basket as they got their letter. The last one called got to keep the basket. We then hit them up for booze.

This year will be anticlimatic, with me sitting at home with a martini hitting refresh over and over and over again. Thankfully my skipper is letting me have the next two days off to drink my self into a stupor!!

So, yes I feel your pain. I'd rather be doing this in a loud group of my colleagues instead of at home alone 🙁

Same here. My school does NOTHING whether you are in the Osteopathic or Allopathic Match. I will be hitting the refresh button too.

Man, that totally sucks. Sorry guys. 🙁 Will be praying that the server does not crash for you guys. 🙂
