Halfway there... anyone else as excited as we are to get to Friday? Today we offer some comparisons in how to spend Match Day. As you are see, there is no wrong way to celebrate the day!

Family

Even if you are not couples matching, like Kip, your family went to med school with you. Always nice to include them in the day!

St Patrick's Day

Every so often Match Day falls on St. Patrick's Day. You may find, like Chris did, that a match letter is at the end of a rainbow
