Message from Lindsay Welton:

I have one idea to share:

So on the interview trail Alex and I heard a piece of advice from an orthopedic resident that we loved. He told us that he sat down with his dad the night before match day and made a list of all of his programs and wrote at minimum 1 positive thing about each program. He said that way if he didn't match at one of his top programs (which he didn't) that he would have at least 1 positive thing to think of and be excited about the moment he opened the letter. He said this was the best thing he could have done, has passed this advice on and many students have benefited.

Alex and I plan to do this with our couples matching rank list. I thought it may be a nice "activity" to add to the website so that people could be exposed to this idea and do it should they want to. Especially given the isolating nature of this match process. Many people won't be able to be around the humans who cheer them up etc. could be a nice foundation of positivity for Friday morning.

HUGE thank you to Lindsay and Alex for this amazing idea :)
