A miracle..I''m going to be a resident!

[Amandine]

Oh, YEA! The further I read into your post the more I was smiling, because I am so happy for you! You absolutely deserve this!

Congratulations!

 

[rainwood]

Ally, I am so thrilled for you. And you will be a great resident in cardiac surgery at McGill. Everything you''ve been through this past year has helped to make you stronger even if you didn''t. Nothing this residency throws at you will be as hard as what you''ve already been through. You know you can survive the bad things, both physically and emotionally. Now you just have to accept that you deserve the good things too. Congratulations!

 

[Rhapsody]

Ally, darling, I am soooo happy for you!!!

I remember all your posts about getting into med school and you wondering if maybe it just wasn''t meant to be, and even though I dont believe in "fate" your match experience makes me think it must be your fate to be a doctor. You''ve worked so hard and I am SO glad for you that, in the end, you got everything you wanted.

Congratulations!!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Wow, what a turn of events. And major kudos to your guy.

You are going to make a wonderful surgeon, and what a story this will be to tell down the road. A huge congratulations to you my dear, you deserve it!!

Life really does work in mysterious ways, doesn''t it?

 

[Octavia]

Ally, this is so wonderful to hear!!! Congratulations, you!

It''s crazy how rough your road was to get to this point, but after such a battle you should savor this -- you deserve it so much, and you''re going to be an amazing cardiac surgeon in just a few short years!

Porridge: You''re so cute! Hello! It only happened yesterday. And I always wondered because I think you mentioned something before, but are you a med student too?

Hey!

Nope, I''m a physical therapy student. Applied for medicine and it was a near miss. Well actually I was accepted in Scotland, but I didn''t want to move when I was 18. Parents didn''t want me to repeat my Leaving Cert (mum''s a doctor, works wayyy too hard

) so did physical therapy as the next best thing, really really enjoying it. Graduating in 6 weeks, plan to work for one year and then consider my next move - stick with this career and specialize, or apply for med school at the age of 25, and take on all that debt, give up my free time...

I''m so on the fence about whether to go for it or not that I usually think I''m just not cut out for it. Maybe not getting in years ago knocked my confidence. But I think it''s one of those things you should always really want to do if you''re going to do it. Anyway, I''m putting all career options out of my head until I get out of college and work for a while.


Oops, that turned into a bit of an essay, sorry!! /end threadjack

Congratulations again

I was the same Porridge when I went back to doing vet. I was 25 and will be 29 when I graduate. It has been extremely rough but worth it at the same time. Definitely think about it. I should have just repeated the leaving at 18
