Dontasemebro Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I know there's nothing that can be done now, but I'm regretting ranking my #1 over my #2 choice. I felt so sure before the deadline and now I keep playing it back in my head. I feel so stupid. It's agonizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thio Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Keep your mind on other things, focusing on that will not change it and will just build up a lot of tension and anxiety in you. Pick-up a new series to watch to blow by the next 4 days maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmorelan Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I know there's nothing that can be done now, but I'm regretting ranking my #1 over my #2 choice. I felt so sure before the deadline and now I keep playing it back in my head. I feel so stupid. It's agonizing. the equivalent of buyer's remorse(?) Not uncommon I think - since both are at the top of your list likely either one though would be an excellent school for you to end up in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontasemebro Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 So I just wanted to post an update. I did end up matching to my first choice and would not wish it any other way. I just didn't have the clarity of mind at the time. It's going to sound silly, but I basically fell HARD for a girl in the days following the rank order list deadline, and my 2nd choice meant I could remain in the same city as her. Somehow the emotions took over completely, and despite applying for one of the top 3 most competitive specialties, the worst scenario playing repeatedly in my mind was matching somewhere - namely my #1 choice - and having to move away from her (a 4 hour drive away). It was the worst possible timing. Looking at things more objectively now, I don't think it was meant to be between us anyway. Chicks man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to sound silly, but I basically fell HARD for a girl in the days following the rank order list deadline, and my 2nd choice meant I could remain closer to her.

I know the feels... similar thing happened with me. Fell for a California gurl shortly before rank deadline... Looking back now, wasn't meant to be frigging chickas.....

I'm glad to hear things worked out for you, and that you had great success in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
