Prize Redemption Rules:

 

1. The first winner picks one prize from the pool or opt to skip them. Then, they tag the the second place winner to pick from the remaining prizes. This goes on until the last person.

2. A winner has 3 days after being tagged by the previous winner to post here what prize to claim.

3. The winner also MUST PM me to redeem them within 3 days of being tagged by the last person. Communication for redeeming prizes is the initiative of the winner. After the time period with a failure to do so, the person will be skipped with no second chance.

 

Prizes:

 
The prizes are not assigned to a specific placement. The first place will choose out of the three, second will chose among the two remaining, and third will receive what is left.

Am I weird bc I would have picked the password? I guess since I don't neo that was the only tenable choice...

I've been out of touch for awhile. But I'd love to host something, but have no idea what. What some favored or memorial contests that havent been run in awhile?

[Keil]

@neobo I think one of the more easier contests to host is the customization contest. You can use the template set for it. If you need prizes, I'll definitely have you covered.

@Kelvin did you match today? You were a year ahead of me but I forgot if you were gonna do your ph d or something... so just asking.

The match is for soon-to-be graduates who don't have direct connections. 

 

I turned an offer down way back in October. I'm doing paid research for one year then going for PhD.

@Kelvin 

You are in an MD program though, right? And then you just want to get Ph. D in addition to MD? Or have I been totally mistaken this whole time? 

And, as far as I know, every state requires at least 1 year of residency before they will give board certification for practicing, right? So you have to match to practice, no matter your connections.

also, you can take this to pm if you prefer.

I'm just saying, it's a formality more than anything.
