"Congratulations! You have matched." from the NRMP.

Holy crap, like someone said last year, I can't believe that I suckered people into believing that I would be a good orthopaedic surgeon.

I second that opinion. Only I bumped into my advisory dean in the hall and he said that he wasn't looking for me - that definately made the email message much less stressful. Beers all around!

Who knows I may be spending 5 years with some of you, but I doubt it from your rank order lists:)

I am SEABISCUIT...

Step I <200, Not AOA, 2 interviews...

and I matched. Proof that busting your rear on away rotations, being easy to work with and get along with can make a difference. Now, I am one highly motivated individual to prove that taking a chance on me was not a mistake. But first, some adult libations with my other foxhole companions is in order.

Congrats to those who did, keep your chin up and keep believing in yourself to those who didn't because I am proof that it can be done.

In there like swimwear!!!!!

I saw there was 1 PGY1 ortho spot on the NRMP site. I guess the Wisconsin scare from last year and the increasing qualities of applicants made for a tough year.

I can't believe it. I had about 10 dreams the past couple weeks in which I didn't match, so I pinched myself about 20 times once I read the e-mail saying that I matched. Congrats to everyone who matched and good luck to those who didn't. Hope my luck continues on the 18th...

where be OF, southpaw, handjob, SLUpod, orthocane, others? let us know how you fared.

i love all the hard luck/have faith stories.

cheers!

p.s. be patient asking for credentials, etc. it is a well established tradition on this site that will happen on or after match day, and not a moment before for obvious reasons, most of which are completely superstitious.

eta570--
There are two females in my class applying for ortho this year, and we both matched --- if you're truly qualified your gender shouldn't (doesn't?) seem to make a difference! Won't post "credentials" until Thursday...
Congrats to all!

I matched. Unfortunately, I'm still banging out 4th year requirements. But I do plan on drinking lots of beer thursday night. By the way, does anyone have any good tips for treating/preventing hangovers. It's been awhile since I've had any ETOH. Congrats to everyone who matched, and for those that didn't--remember that PGY2 slots do open.

Cheers,

HJ
