ONE month away!

One month till Match Day!  Now, if you already know what match day is, then don't read this post :)

This is how it works: Mikey is applying to be an Emergency Room Physician.  He interviewed at 12 programs across the nation.....Now that he done with all his interviews, we put the programs in order of where we would like to go.  Mikey then submits the list through the online database.  Once it's submitted you can't change the order.  All the programs rank each interviewee in order of who they liked....they submit their list to the computer......

On Friday, March 15 each fourth year medical student across the country receives an envelope that tells them where they are going.  The computer does an algorithm and spits out an answer as to which program you have matched at... We could get our number 1 choice or or number 12 choice.... only the Lord knows!

Here is a video that shows one school's version of match day.  Loma Linda does it on a smaller scale.  

This is to help you get a picture of how exciting it is!
