You do know there is a thread with ROLs posted.....
I realize that... but this way we can see how they compare side-by-side.

What gives is the fact that many people's top program is not even listed here. This is some list arbitrarily made up by one person, and thus many good programs were left off.
As you noticed, the program in the lead by some 800% is the "other" category. That should tell you something.
Clearly...

My vote... is this poll is lame.

Only if they create 130+ polls individually representing each program.
Each poll could read respectively....
1. University of Alabama
2. Any other program NOT listed
Next poll
1. University of Arizona
2. Any other program NOT listed

Sure, typing in every program and watching the second hand on my watch tick until the 16th next Thursday could really do wonders for my sanity. I think I will get right on it!! 😉
I am actually having to take each few days separately so I don't have a one week long goal...instead a new goal every 3 days or so. My first goal is to make it to Sunday so I can see my favorite show debut its new season....The Sopranos!!
Then Monday and Tuesday to help any of my friends if they need to scramble, and then the last couple of days will be the hardest. I literally get off work at noon that day and will come straight home to check NRMP. I have this really bad feeling though that the website will crash due to sheer volume and I will be left waiting a few extra days for a letter in the mail!! Oh that would suck!! 👎
Corpsman, I dont think the server will have problems because the allo students will be @ school getting results.. so it should be free and clear for you my man..
Perhaps if we were going to do this poll thing maybe you break it down like this.
1) Northeast (Non NYC)
2) NYC
3) Midwest (Non Chicago)
4) Chicago Programs
5) Southern Programs
6) Texas (for all you crazy Texans on here who swear it is its own country)
7) West Coast (Non Cali)
8) Cali..
This would be all inclusive
And if you want to be real anal retentive you could even list the states that qualify for these regions.

Yet again...
Why don't you post your own list prior to attempting to pry the information out of other people?
Stop soliciting info from other people for personal gain without a willingness to add to the process, beeatch.
He did post his prelim list..
Harbor, Highland Cook and Denver.. also interviewed at Cincy and Christ..
But punk u r right.. step up placebo!

post padding while I say that this poll really is not going to help out.
BKN said:Great, thanks. Obviously I'm too important to do it, but I'd love to have the info!
Well, of course you are. We couldn't have you bloodying your fingers typing that much! Let us measley 4th years do all the work. It'll get us in shape for next year when we REALLY do all the work!

Woohoo! Viva la Repulica de Tejas!
Don't you know we're American by birth, but Texans by the grace of God? 😀
Carrie I have heard that before.. Lucky you.. 🙂

Let's see... for starters, I'm a resident. So I don't have a ROL you jacka$$. If you actually looked at my previous posts than you would have realized that.
you're the punk beeatch!
duplicate...
USMan22 said:
Dude.. its tough.. I am so stressed since 23 people ranked it #1 and I hear they only have 6 spots since they are a new program. Oh well a man can hope!
USMan22 said:
They probably didn't "inerview" you because you can't spell...
punkmd said:
Well--This poll never askes for a person to post their ROL. So either you have a problem following directions, or you just can't read english.
Since I voted in the poll, I think that qualifies me as having "a willingness to add to the process". I suggest thinking before you type. It prevents you from kicking yourself in your a$$ in public.

Fortunately, I have gotten interviews at most of the places I was interested in. As for my bitterness in life, I only try to direct it towards lame people such as yourself who apparently wear their Step I scores as a badge of honor. What is even more pathetic is that the hard work you put into your own scores and the apparent proactive steps you took to work on your low self esteem were apparently not enough; you actually find it necessary to "one up" other people. You can have the last word.
beeatch!
You know its hard out here for a pimp! I just thought I would change the subject and once again allow the "kind chi" to flow through all of us. Now sit back and start singing.....You know its hard out here for a pimp!!!...thats all I know 😉
Come on guys, lets get along. The poll was someone's creation and lets respect it. Even if it has made my top choice of "other program" mighty competitive
I'll be creating a poll on Thursday of next week where we can all say where we ranked and IF it was our top choice or not. It will be creatively done...might take 2 separate polls but it will make things interesting. BKN should appreciate it and might even be able to perform some sort of chi squared analysis on it. 😛

Q: What does punkMD wash his clothes with?

Woo-Hoo! Throw in your mle1 and 2s or comlexes, your class standing, your number of slors, your age and sex and your signs and I'll put together a logistic regression model predicting the probability of matching with your first choice. We'll post it here and make next years 4s even crazier than you guys>

Seriously though after lurking around this board for 3 years of matches I can say I believe that we are the craziest year yet. Might be just more obvious though with our proclivities for
ing. Admittedly, I am biased though.

Oh, wait until I'm hoping to match. All y'all are in for a rude awakening if you think you are paranoid.
I know, I know, I'm going (EVERYBODY needs a study break!).
Ok I am willing to concede that you probably will break the mold. 🙂socuteMD said:
Now seriously as much as we appreciate the pads. STUDY.
Well I think there def were some neuroses present on here but hopefully we can all go back to being "normal" after a few days of *gulp* (hopeful) celebration!

How nice that you asked (a successfull trolling) 😀 . a chance to educate in evidence based medicine.
Probability of event = 1/1+ e(-x power). BTW why can't we put superscript and subscript on the toolbar?
Anyway the x is a vector of predictors = x1+x2+x3+...xn.
In medicine you can predict individual probability of survival. Each x can be a individual factor such as age, sex, ethnicity, tumor staging etc. The kool thing is that after you add everything about the patient, you add the predictor for the therapy. BTW the individual x's are = ln odds ratio.
They never cover the useful stuff in the basic Epidemiology/EBM course in Med School. I really think the prereq should be two semesters of stat rather than calculus so that we could go on to practical apps.
See, wasn't that fun? No? 😕

Oh my God!
I've gone cross-eyed.
Dude take Engineering math.. Then you will know the meaning of cross eyed.. the freakin book we used was out of print so it set me back $180 and I swear my head never hurt so much.. outside of PChem 1 this was the hardest class I ever took. Somehow Pchem 2 was much easier.
