Thursday, March 17th was MATCH DAY! The balloon rainbow stretched two stories high and there were pots of gold coins with the secret to where the 4th years matched for residency at the end. At noon the class of 2011 opened their gold coins together and realized that they were finally going to be a surgeon, a pediatrician, or a radiation oncologist.
Even though I only know one 4th year student, it was honestly quite emotional seeing the happiness on the faces of the students, their spouses or parents, advisors, deans, lecturers and mentors. 3 years to go...
My friend Randi from RPI matched on Thursday with Harvard (do they have a hospital there? aparently so)... it was very exciting. Seems like a fun tradition that must be very emotional/exciting for those involved. I've no doubt in my mind that 3 years from now you'll be a happy girl!!
