And only 7 to go if you opted in to have your school tell you that you DIDN'T match on the 19th :o

Having nightmares about match day now.

My brain tried to trick me while i was half asleep this morning and convinced me TODAY was the 19th, had a little panicky wake up then remembered how time works. Hopefully this isn't a new trend in my dreams lol.

this is so true - really it's one week. we don't find out (our school anyway) until like 6pm but yessss at least we'll know if we matched or not. it feels surreal i really can't explain the feeling. like one week until we know our futures.

Ah the schools all know by noon EDT on the 19th who didn't match (opt-ins only obviously). At Mac we're told we should hear back no later than 4:30pm. So just 4.5 hours of intense anxiety lol

Yes true they are doing it late so 1. You’re not anxiously waiting all day and there’s a specific time and 2. Learners will mostly be at home and somewhere private to receive the news. I don’t mind waiting so students who are still rotating are able to have that quiet and privacy. Sigh. Can’t believe how soon it’s coming!

Very glad that western is giving us the 19th off, and has said that they will let us know by 1pm! Hopefully they don't have to let me know anything anyway haha

One of mine I forgot to submit my rank list so it autodrafted like in fantasy basketball and then a follow up dream I couldn't login to CaRMS to check if my ROL had submitted or not

Another one I got my match results and it was like for a different person and a different specialty and it changed eveyr time I checked....

Similar dream but I matched to a made up specialty that I never even applied to or heard of. 

Instead of reading our matches privately, we were each called up to the stage in the auditorium one by one and our match appeared on a big screen magic 8-ball style in what I'm pretty sure was comic sans font.  Very hunger games vibes.

Lol omg I’m so glad I’m not alone! I’m having dreams where I wake up from the dream relieved but then wake up for real realizing I’m dreaming in my dreams. 6 more days to go the wait in itself is a challenge!

Curious for those of you finishing clerkship so late (Dal finished before interviews lol) when are you writing your LMCC?

Early May. I’ve got a couple weeks to cram once my last rotation ends. Our break is so short before residency, I just want to get it over with.

Late May once our four week "Concept Integration Review" period is over.

Fair! So tricky this year with such a short interval between graduating/ finishing clerkship and starting residency 

Wishing you all the best in your studying, rotations, and match nerves ❤️❤️❤️

I had a dream a week ago that I was in the hospital where I want to match and a preceptor I had worked with before was introducing me to the people who were ordering the programs rank list, in the middle of the ER. And I was trying so hard to see where I was on the list and also begging them to rank me highly. It was not a fun dream
