Nobody can keep you in Texas if you don’t want to be there.
National Residency Match Day was a couple of weeks ago. Yes, some didn’t have outstanding Step scores so that limited their choices…and some of the students are married, with children, and had no intention of venturing more than a 100-300 mile radius so that spouse/children/family wouldn’t be too far away. Those without those attachments interviewed far and wide…and matched all over the country into some of the best programs for their desired specialties.
