I didn’t match.....

[@tinalouisea9122]

The match process is cruel. I think this year was actually kinder because those who were disappointed in their match didn’t have to fake it in front of anyone and those who didn’t match could ignore the whole thing. I have a friend who opened her match on stage to find she was going to basically the last place she wanted to go, but had listed to be safe. Her tears were NOT happy tears. It’s a weird system. Glad that you ended up where you are happy.

[@anastasiyanestsiarovich3126]

Tina Louisea tears???? She matched ! and this is a blessing! I did not match at all😭

[@tinalouisea9122]

Anastasiya Nestsiarovich I’m not diminishing what you went through. At ALL. And I think the match process needs revision. I hope you end up in a great residency.

[@apeman939]

It sucks but it’s not cruel. There are only so many spots that you ranked and that ranked you. It’s just a matter of who qualifies and who applies well

[@folklore_of_beth]

That’s why you don’t list somewhere you don’t want to go

[@13325poop]

@@apeman939 no, youre wrong, it is an archaic remnant of medical school. A trash process and can be very cruel.

[@thompsonaly9]

I just randomly saw this video in my recommendations, I am not a med student and have no intention of ever being one. Although, after watching this video I am so proud by your strength and determination going through this “detour” and giving great advice to future students who didn’t match. You are amazing and will be a fantastic doctor

[@WhiteCoatChronicles]

So happy to hear that in the end, you are where you’re meant to be 🙏🏾

[@etn]

as a high school student i appreciate your transparency on this sensitive subject, its gonna help me prepare for any detours that i may undergo through college decisions. being completely honest i’m so scared and worried even though it’s just college, but this has helped me relieve some of that anxiety i’ve had so thank you 🖤

[@shielaaaaa]

the strength, resilience, and vulnerability, you are so so inspiring queen.

[@shanarraturner908]

Thank you for being transparent. I know this wasn’t easy.

[@feyzabaysal4469]

I am in high school and am planning on becoming an engineer, not a doctor but this video resonates with many difficult times in life when plans don't turn out the way you hoped despite the infinite amount of hard work you put in. Thank you for this especially during college decision season.

[@aajefferson22]

Keep the faith! God has something better in store for you. Stay positive 👍🏾🙌🏾 you got this sis!

Thanks! I am fine now but it was definitely alot in the moment

[@livelovelaugh6405]

This is the first video of urs that I have seen. You’re so strong for sharing this. And yes everything is for a reason and I’m sure whatever happens will be the best for u!! Don’t worry, u got this! As it is said: life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% ur reaction to it! I’m sure you’ll get to where you want! Good luck!!

[@Snowyness]

I'm so sorry for all the emotions you felt at once. You handled this really well and remained positive. It must've been hard to take in all that's happened, but it will only get better from here! It'll take some time, but I believe in you. You'll get through this and be where you want to be!

[@theovercomer7032]

Obviously, you’re a strong person! “You lost a battle, not the war”. You gonna get over it. I love you! God bless!

[@docsheth]

Glad you ended up matching into a program that was right for you! May god continue to bless you and you're amazing for sharing your story.

[@AustinNguyenMD]

Thank you for sharing your story and being so open! I am certain it will help many of us along the way!!

[@sumamarythomas4797]

I don't know why. US medical schools don't give a license to practice if you don't match for a residency.In most other countries it just means you may not become a specialist of your choice but you can always become a general practitioner.

[@krystall0078]

Me watching this as a 2021/2022 non-US IMG applicant for Internal medicine with ZERO interviews.... The match process is extremely cruel this year with single applicants hoarding more that 30 interviews. What hope is there when ur entire dream of becoming a physician is hanging by a string 😰😓

[@BeingDrBernice]

Your honesty and vulnerability is helping so many people. This def brought me to tears. There are so many devastating road blocks on this career path. I'm so proud of you for persevering through this and sharing your experience to help so many others ❤️

thank you so much for posting this. I had so many questions about the scramble process before I saw this video.

[@alexandrateare845]

my heart dropped listening to you talk about this emotional experience ❤️ thank you for sharing your story with us. It means everything to me to hear someone talk about it truthfully. I am applying to medical school next cycle and am so nervous I won't get in (I know its not the exact same or anything), but I appreciate you sharing this ❤️❤️ I know it was difficult. I am wishing you all the best in your future, you are going to make an amazing doctor-- and your program is so lucky to have you! I agree with you that everything happens for a reason ❤️ you got this!

[@phylitinmedicine9468]

Thank you soooo much for your transparency! It is appreciated and respected !

[@poojasam3520]

Don’t worry dear God have better plans for you U will definitely match next time

[@elang222]

Wait.... if you do not match, there is a chance when you’re scrambling, you could not be matched in the field you want to be in? So you’d have to settle to study for the next 3-5 years in a residency you don’t want to be in?? Also, what are the chances if you apply the next year? Is the process the same?

[@MizSazz]

elyse lang dont know about America but a Canadian Doctor I follow mentioned that over there if you didnt match you do an extra year of schooling there till the next match day

[@katemichelle]

You can be matched into a field you didn’t want but can decide to try to process again the next year (so basically spend a year in something you don’t want just to have a job and then try again). So you don’t have to go through the whole residency if you match into something you hate. If you apply the next year, it depends on what you want to go into and up to the programs if they want to hold that against you or not

[@epibarra16]

Thank you for being so open and vulnerable. ❤

[@daisy334]

I'm so scared to start college this fall. Im majoring in biology, already discourage since I didn't make it into my dream school. but it's ok I know im not even halfway. my first goal is to graduate with my BA. Then medical school.

[@michaelata]

thank you for being so transparent and honest with everything💛 im currently a premed student and i was wondering what matching means. so if you dont match does this mean you have to repeat a year of medical school or that u cant be a doctor anymore? im scared of not matching and having to throw all that education and my goals away

[@ivahu453]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It takes strength to do so. You have helped a lot of people by making this video.

[@andrewbarrett2333]

it's going to make you an amazing physician

[@anastasiyanestsiarovich3126]

So you did match, even via SOAP! 👍👍👍 I did not match at all, and this is a disaster. I now have my job contract expiring and the fellowship I planned to go instead of residency put a hiring freeze because if covid. So I have no place to go and I am an IMG with low scores😭 I have applied to 104 residencies and got only one interview and I would give anything to go there😭 And btw we (IMGs) have no one to advice us on anything in the process of entering the residency or to guide us and I am surprised you have such a support in your system! I never heard of such secret rooms”😮 this is great!

[@annalisawilson7694]

Anastasiya Nestsiarovich there is a Facebook page that focuses on IMGs and a couple KZbin channels that do too.

Missy my home country, Belarus

[@mikimomikimoto5426]

I’m so sorry you didn’t match. I think it’s so much harder for IMGs. I’m also an international student but I still have 2 years to go. But please go on to unmatchedmd.com if you haven’t already because residency positions have been popping up! Recently saw one in neurology in Oklahoma. I also did not know about this “secret room” but I’m going to do some more research. Best of luck 💜

[@mikimomikimoto5426]

Hi Adanma, thank you for sharing your experience with us. If your personal statement is written for a specific speciality like OBGYN for example, how would one justify applying to a “safe program” like Family Medicine in the SOAP?

[@jjdagostino]

Congratulations to you for matching in end, as one 4th year med student to another. I would rejoice still.....you gonna be a doctor. All your hard work paid off!!!!!!!

[@NaturalNumi]

Wow..this is touching and encouraging!! How do u apply to multiple specialties without programs finding out? Doesn't that affect ranking? Did u end up in the field u initially wanted?
