Welcome!Welcome to the 2020 - 2021 Psychiatry Residency Applicant Spreadsheet! This has been a helpful, time-honored tradition that I am carrying forward. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email psychspreadsheet2021@gmail.com. If you have an interest in helping moderate the sheet, contact via email! Most pages are editable, so if something needs fixing, and you know how, go for it! Accidents happen, the spreadsheet can always be restored from previous saves, just let us know. Be kind to each other and have fun. If more than 100 people are viewing the spreadsheet at once, it will become read only, so make sure to close out when you are done!

This is a weird year. Between the increasing competitiveness of psychiatry and COVID-19 ripping last-minute plans and electives apart, it's going to be hard in ways that I can imagine. But you are STRONG. And AMAZING. And awesome, wonderful people who looked at this specialty and decided that that's what you were going to do.

You are a great person. Don't forget that, in the mess of the coming months--the tests, the applications, the interviews of questionable quality, and way, way down the line, ranking and matching. It has a way of trying to beat you down, but you are wonderful and fantastic, and will come out of this time eventually.

When things get hard, reach out to us. We were there, in my case, or are there, in yours. It's hard. Sometimes, it's truly awful. But you'll get through those times, and you won't regret having gone through it. I hope you all have an exciting and not too terrifying match season, but I know that won't be the case for all of you. To those of you who are scared that you won't match, that you'll match at somewhere you hate--you will survive whatever happens. You will have another chance, and you'll get through it. Good luck to all of you.		You reading this, yes you. You are more than the number of interviews you have received. You have more value than the types of interviews you have received. You worked really hard to get to this point, and you are more educated and more brilliant and more resilient than most people for enduring to this point. I can't promise that you will get your #1 choice, your preferred specialty or even that you will match (although most of you will match).

**Worse Case Scenario** What I can say, is that I already know something about you. In the worse case scenario (not ever matching), I still know that you are resilient and smart and capable of helping people and doing difficult things. Those skills are valuable. Those skills are marketable. Even student loans, which feel like a guillotine over our heads, have programs that still allow you to survive even if you don't match.

**Likely Scenario** In a better case scenario, which will apply to most of you, this leg of this long journey/nightmare/marathon will be over in a few months. You will get to mostly stop doing the types of medicine you don't enjoy, and start focusing on mastery of what you do enjoy. You will be setting yourself up for financial security, a career to help others, and the humble and sacred privilege of saving lives (or at minimum, significantly impacting thousands of them). Up to this point, you have done all the work, with much less of the reward. This will start to change. Will residency be hard? Sure. Will residency bring fame and glory and the opportunity for more balance. Perhaps not. Yet, you will be further on your journey, you likely not be wondering if you can pursue your passion, and heck, you will even get paid a bit for your work. You will feel less out of place. Your role will be more defined. You will get protected vacation time and sick time. Many things will improve. TL/DR: Be patient, you got this. You can survive your worst-case scenario (which you likely will not face).
