Match Day - the day School of Medicine students receive notice of their residency matches - is the culmination of four challenging and arduous years, and, in some ways, is the most exciting day of the Medical School experience. The event is always entertaining and heartwarming, guaranteed to make you smile, and possibly cry. Here are a few of our favorite Tweets from folks watching the live stream: Working #vumatch day! i think i cried at least 10 times. #Match2013 http://instagram.com/p/W4tPkDLNzb/Courtney Brown
