I matched.  This revelation was sort of anti-climactic because I had a very strong suspicion I would match based on the number of schools I ranked.  Statistically it’s rare not to match when you rank >12 programs.  But I will nonetheless take the small victories as they come! The real deal where I find out the geographic location of my first job as an MD is on Friday and my eyes are on the prize for sure.

I have a tendency to have anxiety-induced dreams and this week has been no exception.  In the months leading up to medical school I had serpentine dreams, which is apparently symbolic of change but also could possibly have been related to the caduceus.  Visions of snakes awoke me from my sleep regularly and then promptly ceased once school began.  Now I am having random dreams about matching.  For instance, two days ago I dreamt that I matched at UW.  That would actually be a very great place to match but it surprised me and awoke me (and consequently Joe) from sleep anyway.

Four days and counting until the great reveal, so keep your bubbly stocked and chilled.  And tune in at 11AM mountain time to find out where to send your Christmas presents for the next three years!
