Any medical students (or spouses, parents, etc) getting excited for Match Day 2006?!

[beachbunny]

I've been following this thread for some time now. In recent years, I've been through two match days, one for my brother and one for my sister. One graduated from Stanford and the other from Mayo. And I know how happy they both were when they matched their first choice. Good luck to everyone!

Great thread, I feel like I'm eavesdropping. Misc comments.
My DD has plans to be an orthopedic surgeon. She fractured her fibula playing B-Ball and whala found a career direction. She is just a Sr. in high school and has a long way to go, but she was accepted at the only college she applied to so that's a good thing. She is majoring in Biology (I guess that makes since right?). She is working 3rd shift foaling out mares on Mondays and Fridays, I think of it as good practice for residency.
justhat - We love NC too, (I'm surprised my DD didn't apply to Duke or NC) we go there every summer, to Lake Lure. My ex-SIL graduated from Duke ob-gyn but we won't hold that against NCer's I am not at Mayo clinic fan, done that and not going back. jmho so I'm glad you downgraded it - I (again personally) think that was wise.
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate the glimpse of my DD's future (if that's what she ultimately wants) I hope you all get what you want, it will be exciting to see your posts. Peace and best wishes where ever you go.

I was glad we downgraded Mayo too, but my husband still complains about it to everyone we meet. People ask what his #1 choice is and he says "well I ranked GW #1 but my first choice was Mayo." He makes it sound like I'm some villain! We used to go to the NC/SC beaches every year too and I just love the area since then. This year will be the first summer we don't go cause I'll be very pregnant, my husband will be starting his job, we'll have to move, etc.

Just wanted to wish you all good luck!

My one and only big bro is an ER doc, just finished up his residency 2 years ago.. so we all remember the excitement leading up to the big day! Match day! And even more fun.. finding that first job!

I'll be watching this thread with a little bit of jealousy.. I originally wanted to go to med school, but life had other plans for me (mainly two little kids).

Small world! I originally had plans for med school too, and went with nursing to have more time to have a family. I see you graduate soon.... I will in May as well! Congrats to you too!

Congratulations on everyone matching with their first choice! We've put our offer in on a house in Dayton and they accepted, so we're just ironing out the financials now. Can't wait until graduation now! Under 2 months to go!
