A Historic Match Day at Columbia

On Match Day, 167 students at Columbia University's medical school learned which residency program they will attend for their medical training after graduation.
The 2017 Match Day was also historic for P&S students because it coincides with a special milestone: this year marks the 250th anniversary of the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

That’s so sad if you don’t match :( everyone around you is celebrating and you’re there with nothing

[@kellyjokanovich3939]

If someone doesn’t match anywhere they find out the Monday before everyone finds out where they match so they don’t go to the celebration

[@anishaa6216]

So does every med student get a match? Or are there some who can't get into any programs?

[@docholliday4546]

You don't get matched you're screwed! You can hope and pray to get a SOAP match..

What does Match Day means ?

Why I don't hear neurosurgery often in match day

[@FiBNd]

I think its very hard and competitive to get in. From what I understand work in neurosurgery can be very rewarding but it takes alot out of doctors as they are sometimes sat at surgeries for 18 hours plus and such. Its an amazing specialty but you have to have the stomach will and determination to do it because it really is not for everyone.
