i matched today today, i learned that i matched in internal medicine. here in the states, the process of getting a medical residency is kind of weird.
you apply to the programs that you'd like to go to, then the programs offer interviews to the selected candidates that they would like to interview. once you interview, then you rank all the programs that you liked and would be willing to go to in a specific order. the programs then rank all the candidates that they liked, also in the order that they liked you. then a national agency matches you up, based on the respective rank lists. today, they let you know whether or not you matched, and thursday, they let you know where you matched. so, now i have to wait until thursday to find out where i will be going for the next 3 years. ------------------------------------------------

Fucked if I know.  When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. | |

it is the process by which you become a doctor here in the states.
and yes, it's some arcane fucked up system. ------------------------------------------------

Congratulations. So where did you match? "When they tell me 2 walk a straight line, I put on crooked shoes" | |

on monday, they only tell you IF you matched. on thursday (march 20th), they tell you WHERE you matched.
they tell you if you match before they tell you where so that the folks that don't match can "scramble". the whole process is very complicated, unnecessarily so. ------------------------------------------------
