Thanks man. Yeah, no crying here. Even if I didn't get my first choice, just gotta suck it up. I know what you're saying though. I definitely want to have all the options available to me and that requires effort.DJB wrote:Medical school sucksNo shit, at least your getting paid, and you will be better paid in your residency. Of course that is where your advantage ends.I can't believe people actually pay to get kicked in the nuts by med school.
Seriously though, congratulations on matriculation, and study as though your future depends on it (not that the lives of your fellow soldiers/patients shouldn't be motivation alone). It sucks to know exactly what you want to do in medicine and not have the grades to get that residency. There is a lot of crying on match day (I actually thought the crying was kind of funny). Don't be caught crying.
And for the record, I matched top choice and my residencies first pick.
Good luck bro, and don't be afraid to PM, my wife is also a USUHS grad. so if you have questions...
Thanks for the support and I definitely will keep in touch.
