I have always been on the fence about residencies. Now that I am a P4 and the time is actually coming where I have to decide if I want to do one or not I am feeling as though I will regret it if I don't at least try. More for the community based residencies though, i feel like that is where i thrive and perform best as a pharmacy student. Just acute care is definitely not my cup of tea.
That being said, i don't know how competitive I am as an applicant. I feel like I am a very average student. I've been doing great on all my rotations so far and I feel as though I can present myself much better in person compared to what a piece of paper says about me.
I think I am just going to go to midyear and test the waters, seeing as though I have December off.
Is anyone else in this situation/have you been in this situation before?
I just don't want to not participate in match, etc and then regret it in march when all of my classmates are matching. Even if I don't get one, I feel like i will always think "what if" in my mind
