Good luck everyone!! I remember reading this a few years ago.

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!

Is this useful information to people? Honest question! I wouldn't mind posting if people think it's useful, but I wonder if some people would think it is rubbing salt to the wounds for those who didn't match.

Not to derail the thread, but why would these programs go unfilled, is this a common thing?

Most likely they just didn’t rank enough people. Or everyone they ranked ranked them low and got accepted somewhere else. It happens every now and then and seems to affect the less popular school and the big names (who probably think they don’t need to rank more then 5-6 per spot).

So research doesn't really matter when applying for OMFS?
Click to expand...

It depends. It can potentially help your application if it is OMFS related. Likely not going to be a game changer, unless is was major research that you presented at AAOMS and won awards for, etc. The way I see it, only do research if you like research. I'm personally not a big fan, so I didn't do it during dental school. Don't force yourself and reluctantly do random dentinal tubule research during dental school becasue you think it'll help your OMFS application. It won't; It may hurt it. OMFS applications aren't like ortho or peds where extracurriculars and volunteering play a major role. Program directors have different criteria they each look for, but for the most part, the CBSE currently remains the most important thing on your application.

So doing summer research with NIH between 1st and 2nd year summer doesn't matter? There's no specific OMFS research at my state public school

You have to put yourself out there to meet potential mentors, ideally mentors who themselves have publications in JOMS. Be willing to work hard, and beyond that it’s really just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
