Sure, but I see that as mostly something for students to use as a resource and to discuss how "well" a school matches. For instance there wasn't a single comment about matching yesterday!

There may be more comments when people find out "where" they matched this Friday.
Those who didn't match are busy with the SOAP process.
Congratulations on your match, @jambro :highfive:

Everyone's working on their social media updates, including with their school's social media team.

Just in case someone didn’t match, here’s some words of encouragement for you:



I found this pretty encouraging since I’m a psychiatrist who also didn’t match my first time through (military match) when I applied for EM, ended up doing a civ trad intern year and then switching specialties to psych. This was about a decade ago now but I am soooooooooo happy where I’m at now cannot imagine how miserable I’d be if I had matched EM. It feels rough at first but it for sure is not the end of the world just a temporary set back.
 
But congratulations to those who did and have patiently/anxiously waited the grueling rest of this week to find out where!
 
I'm definitely interested in how the "program signaling" protocols worked for those of you who matched. I think this has been around a couple of years, but this year it seems to be much more in play, so it could dictate more where people match as opposed to "pure merit."

Good luck!

I only received interviews from programs I signaled
 
Matched IM at top choice 🙂

I received IVs from most of my signals. I signaled programs that I felt at least fairly competitive for. I don’t think that the IVs I received from signaled programs were anything less than ‘pure merit,’ just that the program took me as someone seriously interested in them.

Applied IM which had 7 signals, received interviews at 6, plus 4 more I didn’t signal but were still in my geographical preferences.
