ROANOKE, Va. -

If high drama is your kind of thing, the Virginia Tech-Carilion Medical School was the place to be. Friday, fourth-year medical students found out which residencies they've been selected for across the country.

The day is circled on everyone's calender: Match Day.

If medical school doesn't sound grueling enough, the wait from Monday to today sure is.

"At the first of the week, when they find out do they match with a position, and they did. And at exactly 12 o'clock, every place in the country, everybody finds out where they matched," said Dean Cynda Johnson.

"It's definitely a stressful process," student Carlie Blake said.

"Today is the culmination of four years of really hard work," Rohini Mehta added.

All these students have spent the past couple months picking a specialty and interviewing at the places across the country to practice them.

In a private ceremony, the students got those envelopes.

Dean Cynda Johnson says the sheer joy on their faces tells you everything you need to know.
