It's probably a long shot for me but I ranked Wake Forest first.
scholes said:and what is that makes cincinatti so hard to spell (did i spell it right?)....the other day i tried to figure out the distance from my home to cinci on yahoo and it took me 6 or 7 attempts just to get map program to figure it out cause i kept spelling it wrong....i think it would be easier just not to apply there....i will consider it perhaps if they consider changing their name

1. Kalamazoo/MSU
2. U IL peoria
3. St. Joe's - Phoenix
4. Christ/Hope Children's
5. Phx Children's
I assume the PD lists are in as my name is not very conspicuous???

but did match and was not unhappy on match day or with my program
I think making people stand up and announce where they matched is inappropriate. I go over and talk to some of the students I know after the match and I know not everyone is happy with where they match, although usually things work out well in pedi in the end.
oldbearprofessor said:Okay, since everyone else is sharing:
I went to a state medical school. I didn't get honors in any of my core rotations and my dean's letter said I was a bit "immature" based on the dislike for me by my adult cardiology attending. My NBME Part 1 score (equivalent to modern "USMLE step 1") was medicocre (can't even remember the score, but maybe 60%ile at best overall). I had no publications. Still, I submitted this list (I interviewed at 6 or 7 and ranked 5) expecting to get my #1:
1. Children's Mercy in Kansas City
2. Children's Memorial in Chicago
3. Children's in Akron, Ohio
4. Michael Reese in Chicago
5. Louisville (Kosair)

Good luck to all

For others who did the same, hope I'll see you there! Next February we can laugh at all those poor suckers in Philly ;-)
perhaps someone can start a new 2007 thread?
