"And the Envelope, Please..."
Match Day is a national stress-inducing event, when over 15,000 medical students from across the country learn where they will spend their years of residency training. According to the National Resident Matching Program, the Match uses a computer algorithm to align the preferences of applicants with the preferences of residency programs in order to fill available training positions, a euphemism for a highly competitive — and largely secretive — process where applications to top institutions far outnumber the available positions. Once again this year, Weill Cornell students performed exceptionally well, with 65 percent obtaining positions at the most prestigious U.S. teaching institutions and 24 percent matching in the very competitive subspecialties of neurology, neurological surgery, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, emergency medicine, radiology and dermatology.

One hundred and fifteen seventh-grade students from East Side Middle School piled into the basement gym at Olin Hall on Wednesday, March 8, to present their research findings on some of life's bigger questions: Who has a better memory: boys or girls?
