On Monday, March 14th, Ashlyn got the notification...
In the medical school world, this is HUGE. Med students study four long, hard years in hopes of landing a residency at their favorite hospital in their dream field. While Ashlyn and her closest friends all matched, they didn't know where they were matched, and in some intances, which program they matched in.They decided to all be together when they found out. We made a sweet celebration out of it with the cutest cookies!
The match information was delivered via e-mail, and the students gave their phones to a parent who could keep a straight face (not me). She wrote each of their match information down on a poster and handed them out upside down.
At the count of three, they turned over the cards. One, two...
Three!!! It's surgery in Birmingham, AL for Ashlyn, with her friends getting Radiation Oncology in Virginia and Internal Medicine in Florida. Congratulations, ladies!
Next, she talked with Alex who was on face-time during the reveal. This was just as much a part of his future too, it seems.
Way to go baby girl! We are so proud of you getting your 1st choice! You worked hard for this, and we can't wait to see you become an amazing surgeon!
