I'm the associate Dean for Student Affairs
at the Perelman School of Medicine
and we are thrilled to
welcome you to Match Day 2019!

- I'm feeling really
excited but also I think
it's hard to know how I'm feeling.
So it's just been so much emotion
and anticipation building up to this time.
- Today I really feel like is about my,
all the people that supported me.
My family, my partner, my
mentors and today's about them
and celebrating everyone
who helped me along the way
because I didn't make
it here today by myself.

- I matched at Penn for
Interventional Radiology
and their Integrated Program.
I'm so excited to be with the group here.
I've been looking forward
to today for a while
and just wanting to know where I'll go
and what the next six years
are going to look like.
- It was a tremendous feeling.
I mean to see her joy in learning and all
that Penn was teaching her and that I that I could
just see her just jumping in there
and taking those opportunities
and enjoying every moment.
- Knowing that, that
envelope has your future
for the next four years
and all the adrenaline
that came and my hands were shaking.
I opened it and then I
just, all the emotions kind
of hit me at once that I've
been suppressing for months.
I got my top choice.
I'll be going to UCFS in San Francisco.
- I will remember this forever.
Just that feeling of so much build up
and excitement opening my envelope
and then so much relief
finding out where I'm going.
I matched with Stanford
for Radiation Oncology
and I am so excited that it's really going
to be a new experience.
Such a change of scene to
move out to the West Coast.
- I'm staying at Penn
for Internal Medicine
and I have an amazing group of people
who are staying with me.
- It's been an unbelievable journey.
It's been emotional and today's really the culmination
of such hard work and
we couldn't be prouder.
