NLengr Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 I just heard from someoneI know in MUN. Sounds like a strong match there. Dermx2, plastics, ENTx3. And the regular smattering of normal specialties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband actually matched to Internal and went unmatched for 2.5 hours on the system Same thing happened here - very, very stressful for those involved. Really CARMS - you have one job to do - and I cannot say you did a very good job at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a victim of the ol' "you didn't match but you actually matched to your number 1" trick. That sucked. Roller coaster of emotions.

youngdad Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Dear Me, As you have already been notified by phone, between 12:00 and 14:00 ET on March 5, 2013 there was an error in the way your match results for the 2013 R-1 Main Residency Match were displayed. During this time, your match results page in CaRMS Online displayed text indicating you were unmatched when, in fact, you matched to the program below. University of British Columbia / Family Medicine / Vancouver Island - Strathcona We understand that Match Day is a stressful time and we deeply regret any added anxiety caused by this display error. Please accept our sincere apologies. If you wish to discuss this further please contact me at xxxremovedxxx. Sincerely, No real explanation for what happened, but at least they acknowledged it.
