Hey everyone! My name is Dakota and I’m a Mexican-American medical student originally from California who will be applying to pediatrics this year. Excited to get the process started and can’t wait to meet everyone! #pedsmatch2023

Spent the last 2 days writing my personal statement… got a working draft but don’t think I’m done just yet 🙏🏻 here’s to a weekend of writing ✍️

Have had an absolute blast over the last 2 weeks with the Stanford Pediatrics Residency Program! I’ve met so many amazing people and am excited for what the future holds 🙏🏻 #SCORE2022

2 away rotations completed over the past 3 months! So blessed to have been able to come home for a few months and rotate at some amazing programs! Now off to interview season 👨🏻‍💼💼 #pedsmatch2023

Rank list pretty much finalized 🙏🏻 such a rollercoaster ride but at this point you just have to trust the hard work that you’ve put in! Best of luck everyone 🙂 #pedsmatch2023

I’m going to be a Pediatrician! 4 more days until we find out where! #pedsmatch2023

Today felt like a dream. From not being sure if I was going to even attend Match Day because I was sick, to matching at my #1 choice, Stanford Pediatrics Residency Program Thank you to all my friends and family for the support over these last 4 years! I’m coming back home to CA 😭

Stanfords SCORE program is truly a once in a lifetime experience and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. If anybody is considering applying to the SCORE for pediatrics, feel free to reach out! Happy to help in anyway. Sincerely, An incoming PGY-1
