Your final 2006 Rank List

[ellentj]

Goodbye anonymity! Not that I was exactly trying very hard to protect it. I hope you and the family are doing well. Are you going to post your ROL? I'd be curious to see one of someone I met in person.

My list is posted above somewhere in the thread...
1. Ohio State
2. UNC
3. SUNY Upstate
4. Pittsburgh
5. Case Western
6. Christiana
7. Duke
8. Regions

I added Regions at the last minute because I got freaked out that I wouldn't match, and I just felt like I needed to have that magic number on my ROL - the average of 8. I switched Case Western and Christiana at the last minute (actually with 15 minutes to go) because I suddenly realized I'd really rather live in Cleveland than in Newark. In fact, Christiana has been steadily migrating down the list from darn near the top because I can't bear the idea of living in Newark. City traffic and close to city prices without the city.

And of course I spent weeks agonizing over #1 and #2. The peds at OSU really pushed it to the top, even though I'm already at UNC and it would be sort of nice not to have to move. Also, my parents are less than an hour from Columbus and my sister is at OSU right now in nurse practitioner school. Maybe we could have lunch together in the cafeteria. SUNY gets #3 because it had a really nice feeling and my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are less than an hour from Syracuse. It's sort of a little sleeper.

Anyway, there it is. I can't change it anymore now, and that's a good thing. It was driving me crazy.

All this talk of Sunny SoCal is really making me count the days until Match *knocking on every wooden item in arms length* So great to see such a variety of opinions and diversity in the ROLs; really goes to show that EM is more than just a list of the ¨top ten¨programs - something for everyone in this thing called residency.

1. Harbor
2. Highland
3. UCLA - OV
4. UCSD
5. U Chicago
6. Denver
7. UC Davis
8. Northwestern
9. Irvine
10. Mt. Sinai

Good luck to everyone!!!

let me hear a bump bump

Good luck to everyone!!!

Awesome screen name... I want to steal it!

 

[Poncho]

What gives?! I thought I was going to be the only one with Northwestern first on this thing. Ok, Poncho, looks like we are going to have to battle to the death. That, or we will both end up at the same program and be best friends for ever. We have until March 14th (steak/BJ day, scramble day, my birthday) to decide. Anyway, here's my final list...

1. Northwestern
2. BW/MGH
3. Boston Medical Center
4. Jacobi/Monte
5. Cook
6. Mt. Sinai
7. Yale
8. Penn
9. St. Luke's/Roosevelt
10. Downstate/King's County

NW is a phenomenal program, what can I say...Totally suprised me on my visit. Amazing leadership, great curriculum, nice people, cutting edge in all respects. Hopefully things will work out for the both of us.

So while typing that I realized the reason that our forward thinking Ectopic fetal friend realized TWO threads equals double the s. I knew we kept him around for something!

HOw about my fish with Chambers, McMichael, Brown (& maybe Ricky) with freakin Daunte.. lets see how he comes back from the knee injury.. Dude those 2 are insanely good in that game..

Heres what upsets me.. Mike Vick is insanely good. I threw for almost 500 and ran for 90 with vick in 3 qtrs.. he isnt nearly that good in real life.. oh and i completed about 85% of my passes.... a complete joke!!

I've got to admit, culpepper is gonna be a hugh upgrade, and like you said, they have nice skill positions already. I think some people don't like culpepper much, but personally, he will be drafted on my fantasy football team probably haha. I think he'll go a bit lower, and I'll be willing to take a chance on him. What would have been cool is if AZ cards just dumped a little extra money and picked him up too!

 

[EctopicFetus]

Well clearly he wont be putting up the numbers he did with Moss cause Saban is a run 1st kind of guy.. but if he gets us 30 tds we will be insane.. as far as Zona... still some big holes.. same for miami (esp on D now).. and on the OL..
