How did I know someone would post this already haha. Excited for match day!
 
i'm excited for you guys
 
Does military count?? Cause I "matched" today to army OMS

Name: agent2362
Program Matched: Army OMFS
Dental School Attended: UoP
Year Earned DMD/DDS: 2013
International Student (yes/no): no
NBDE Part I / NBME scores: NBME 73
Class Ranking/Size: pretty pathetic due to my extracurriculars. Im too ashamed to post it.
Externship(s)/where: Highland, Ft. Bragg, Ft. Lewis, Ft. Bliss ( about 8 weeks total)
Research: 1 paper published from undergrad research
Extracurriculars: Halo and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (hence the class rank). Getting some air with my Vespa around San Francisco.
Programs Applied to/Interview Invites/Interviews attended/Programs Ranked: N/A. Army does one interview for 11 spots. Usually 20-30 total apply, so % of matched applicants/ total applicants is similar to civilian statistics.

I also applied civilian, so maybe I will get accepted into a civilian program in two weeks too.

Congrats!
 
I'm curious why they wait so long after the ROLs are locked. Considering it's all a computer algorithm it seems like they could give you the results the next day.

For dramatic pause? Lol

It takes time to manually type all the emails to the applicants. 2 weeks is reasonable.
 
So programs probably already have the results right?
 
I've heard they are released to everyone at the same time (applicants and programs alike).
 
good luck gentlemen. do your best to post your stats, even if it's just a range on NBME/GPA/Class Rank to give up and comers an idea of what they're looking at.

i am the self appointed KING of the POST-MATCH...if anyone wants my advice send me a PM tonight (i won't be responding after tomorrow morning).

Can you post some of those tips publicly in case some of us need it tomorrow? Thanks

Tried pm'ing but it says I can't PM you. Mind posting it on here or directly PM'ing me? Thanks!
 
Where's that dang poem.... Ah, here it is:

My wife is one of the most clever writers I know. She just wrote this and showed it to me. I thought you all could appreciate it.

Match Eve poem by Mrs. Scarn

tWas the night before match day and all through the house
Not an applicant was sleeping, not even their spouse.
All the rank lists were numbered, submitted with care,
in the hopes that school "number one" soon would be theirs.

Hopefuls everywhere nestled snug in their beds,
while visions of third molars danced in their heads.
And me in my scrubs, i turned off the light,
and settled myself in for the world's longest night.

When from my iPhone there came such a clatter,
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the charger I ran in a dash; the screen came alive in a brilliant white flash.

The box on the screen blinked to notify me
It had just received an email that I needed to see.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a subject line saying omfs match finally here!

In a rush of adrenaline, my patience was gone.
I'm done with this waiting, let the match bring it on!
As true as sdn my confidence came, and I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

Now parkland! Now, Vanderbilt! Now, San Antonio or Unc!
On, Baylor! On, Oregon! On, Florida or Kentucky!
To my life's next six years! Now don't make me wait!
Now bring it on! Tell me! Show me my fate!

As if in slow motion, the email opened up.
My eyes scanned the page, my fingers crossed for luck.
In confusion I searched, come on, what's the catch?
And then, in awful clarity, the words, "you did not match".

My body went limp, eyes rolled back in my head.
My life flashed before my eyes. I fell back on the bed.
My throat was closing in! My lungs found no air!
My hands clawed my throat, and ripped out my hair!

This just couldn't be right! Was my mind playing tricks?
Could I really go on? Add another year to six?!
What had I done wrong? What qualities did I lack?
I must run far away and never come back!

"No, no!" moaned my voice in an unearthly tone.
I was ruined, defeated... The match had won!
I writhed in my misery, sweat soaking my scrubs.
I pled for some assistance, some help from above!

I opened my eyes to a glimmer of light, the clock on my nightstand showing midnight.
I bolted up straight, and off the bed I fell.
Somehow I had slept-and dreamed myself into hell!

I gasped for a breath, I reached for my phone.
No new messages! The email from hades was gone!
I laugh in hysterics, I feel I could dance! My fate yet undecided! I have another chance!

The night is still young. Several hours remain,
enough for at least 10 more nightmares of the same.
My pulse starts to slow, my head is finally clear.
There's still 6 dreaded hours until match day is here!
 
So what are your plans for the next 10 hours lol?

congrats guys....very happy for you all
 
Can anyone tell about the unmatched programs this year. Thanks
 
Congratz to the 3 people that matched this year!
Lol...what has become of this thread? There's now 37 posts but only 3 people submitted their results...why is that?
 
today has been a nice swift kick in the balls. Disappointment is an understatement
3.8 gpa, class rank #2, 64 cbse, 4 weeks of externships, 6 places ranked.... did not match
maybe post-match will be a little better to me. I guess there are no guarantees but I thought I had a decent shot. maybe my experience will help others or something like that
congrats to those that matched

Sorry man, that is rough. If you don't mind me asking, what were your programs?

Congrats man! Hey does Baylor have a deal with the Navy for a four year spot every other year? I have a UoP classmate (in the Navy) who is a 2nd year there. He's a great guy and I'm sure you two will get along great.
