Since this is anonymous, it would be nice to clear an elephant in the room. do programs actually send out any emails/contacts leading up to match day? I’ve heard that some do.

Does a lack of communication imply that one may not match?

To those of you that have matched previously to your #1, 2, or 3 spots: was there any communication from them?

Trying to dilute some doubt!

Cheers,

Matched to my #1, zero communication from them post interview, including no replies to my thank you emails.
 
Did anyone ever end up hearing anything from Lincoln?

Just me or are these final days leading up to match feeling like years? Thinking about each interview and whether the programs liked me as much as I liked them, or if they thought our conversations felt genuine like I did. Second cycle applying and just praying it works out this time. Question for PD's or current residents out there - do you usually end up liking the majority of the people you interview or do you only really click with a couple applicants each cycle?

You’re thinking too much. Rank programs based on your feelings (not how you think the program liked you) submit your list, then go on vacation. Gotta get your mind off of it until match day.

Dumb question, but do programs get insider info on how you ranked them after match day?

What time do match emails go out typically?

"Match result notification emails will be sent to all applicants and programs that submitted Rank Order Lists. The emails are sent on the morning of the Match Results Day with the intention of having all emails sent by 11:00 a.m. ET. Due to unreliable email exchanges and inbound servers, we cannot guarantee a delivery time for the emails.

Beginning at 12:00 p.m. noon Eastern Time on the Match Results Day, each registered applicant and program can log into the NMS Match System to access their personal Match result online."

Yes, I also googled it. I was wondering historically what time the emails are typically sent out at.
 
Annual traditional post, good luck everyone!

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!

Hello all,

Congrats to those that matched!

Columbia has 2 open GPR positions that essentially act as OS non-categorical spots. You take OS call and are heavily involved with the OMFS team including the OR and in the clinic. Call is usually q7. Great opportunity for someone thinking about OMS but still wants a little exposure to general dentistry or someone who applied into OMS and did not get a spot this round looking for a non-cat spot. DM me if interested.

Thanks!
