in other news tomorrow is match #3 for me and I suicide ranked only my home program. So.
#the match system is so dystopian if you think about it for more than 1 second
#you interview at programs all over the country. you make your list of where to go. they make their list.
#then a giant algorithm sorts people into their highest ranked program that also wants them back
#so if you’re bound to a certain geographic area
#you better hope it’s an undesirable place to live a non-academic program or that you’re the most stellar applicant
#for residency I desperately wanted to leave my home state and matched at my 2nd choice but interviewed at 12 programs
#for fellowship number one I interviewed at 10 places and matched my first choice
#now with fellowship number two I interviewed at 4 places and only ranked one
#we call that suicide ranking because it’s an all your eggs in one basket situation
#either you get it or you don’t have a job.
#it’s not a big deal for me really because I would otherwise just enter the workforce
#but it’s actually late to look for work starting next academic year
#essentially if I don’t match it’s going to be a scramble to find something
#yikes. I know it will be fine. I’m a good candidate. I’ve been at this institution for 5 years
#but I’m still super anxious
