AB After  months  of  anticipation,  you  find  out  that  you  matched!  From  the  moment  you  find  out  the  match  results,  your  emotions  go  into  overdrive  and  your  mind  becomes  a  whirlwind  of  questions.  First,  take  a  deep  breath  and  think  about  the  following:  you  have  to  finish  pharmacy  school,  find  a  place  to  live,  take  your  boards,  get  licensed  in  one  or  more  states,  and  figure  out  your  student  loan  situation.  The  key  to  taking  care  of  all  this  business  is  to  plan  ahead.  Even  in  the  months  before  the  match,  you  can  create  a  timeline  and  begin  the  process  of  preparing  for  the  upcoming  changes.  Before  the  match  you  can  set  a  goal  of  when  you  would  ideally  like  to  take  the  boards,  complete  appropriate  paperwork,  and  work  with  your  loan  provider  to  set  up  an  alternative  loan  repayment  program  while  you  are  a  resident.  The  more  organized  and  prepared  you  are  for  the  changes  that  are  about  to  ensue,  the  better  you  will  be  able  to  complete  everything  that  needs  to  be  done  in  the  post-match  days.  You  do  not  want  to  spend  the  last  2  months  of  pharmacy  school  running  yourself  ragged.  You  want  to  spend  your  time  soaking  up  2  more  months  of  knowledge  as  a  pharmacy  student,  celebrating  graduation  with  your  family  and  friends,  and  looking  toward  the  next  year  of  your  life  with  excitement  and  anticipation.
