Matched to?

Throughout the day, I wasn't able to concentrate on the on-going lectures. My mind was only focused on one thing. The results of my US job. It didn't help things that my SpRs who knew about my application, were absolutely convinced that I had matched at my first choice program. I, being the ever pessimist, was not too convinced.

The results would be released at 5pm UK time, which meant that we would still be in the car, on the way back to Cambridge from Harrogate. I tried not to think about it by sleeping along the way. As we dropped people off at their respective houses, one SpR invited me to come in to check my results. I kindly declined as I always preferred to be alone when receiving either good or bad news.

However, he and everyone else insisted so I had no choice but to check my results.

And....

I couldn't believe it. I had matched to my first choice program! Triple yay!

I didn't believe it until I check 2 separate websites to confirm that I had indeed matched at my first choice program.

Wow! I am dazed and shocked! This is indeed a life-changing experience for me, if I do take up the offer.
