So for all y’all who don’t know how the residency match works, you 1) work you tush off for 4 (or 5) years, 2) submit your applications, 3) go to interviews all over the country (and you pay)- e.g. 10-20 in 1.5 mo, 4) put in your rank list, and then 5) WAIT. So it’s been the waiting game since my last post in late Feb. We hilariously have class… and even the type A girl I am can’t pay attention to a thing. Questions arise: Will I match? Did i put in the right program codes? What will I do if I don’t match? IF I match– where will I go? How much is rent in LA vs. bay area vs. TX, etc. Could I survive a Minnesota winter? And then somehow at 12am you’re reading about gyms in Minneapolis and warmer jackets. Zen is something I aim for, but I TOTALLY AM NOT ZEN. Would you be? I’m holding my breath. Today I found out I matched (!!!!!). So I released a little bit of air. But… where? Stay tuned.
