Yes that is how I found out Let's not forget these are not "rejections". CARMS matching algorithm does not identify who will/won't be a good physician.

Yes certainly, though i was talking about communicating rejections from the first round of the carms process haha. But thank you for clarifying! cardio_enjoyer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

short_stack Posted March 21, 2023 Report Share Posted March 21, 2023 What's everyone doing to cope in these last few hours? I'm shamelessly drinking and playing video games in the hope I might fall asleep at some point before I have to go in for clinical duties from 7-noon tomorrow... don't even get the entire day off cardio_enjoyer and Elgar 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even understand the point of us going for half the day - some of my classmates have managed to ask their staff for the whole day off anyway. And those of us who couldn't swing that will be utterly useless nervous wrecks all morning, what exactly will we learn or accomplish??? cardio_enjoyer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortado Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Didn't match after having 8 interviews for anesthesia. Definitely stings more than I thought it would.

Definitely stings more than I thought it would. Best of luck to everyone tomorrow I'm really sorry to hear fellow internet medical student. You've definitely heard this before, but I want to reiterate: this is not a failure on your part but the system's. This year sounds like one of the toughest years for anesthesia. The fact you got 8 interviews (more than my [med + residency interview #] x 2) speaks volumes about how you are a strong candidate who is qualified for the specialty. Good luck with whichever path you choose: second iteration or repeating a year. I'm sure you will be a great doctor wherever you go. Please take some time for yourself and reach out to some people you can trust. cortado, ChemPetE, MedicallySpeaking and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardio_enjoyer Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm also awake. After neglecting my hobbies (not the traditional ones that people write in their CV/talk about at the interview such as working out or playing music... I like to call those the "long walks on the beach" of medical applications) thanks to clerkship rotations, electives, and CaRMS, I'm finally able to sit down and enjoy something not for the sake of studying or looking good as a prospective resident... but for my enjoyment and only myself. Such a long-lost feeling. Good night and good luck later today everyone! LastOfUs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LUUO Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 One hour to go! No matter where you match (or if you are unmatched), you should be very proud of yourselves for completing almost the entirety of this degree in this pandemic. You have all demonstrated resilience and perseverance against the odds. Samic1988, ChemPetE, cardio_enjoyer and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
