  #6

  #7

are you a kickboxer K1? or simply a Hoost fan?




  #8

hey K1, klimt, congratulations!!!

I was told by Vai that you, K1 went through Couples Match. Could you please tell us a little bit more about this experience? I don't recall anybody speaking about this before...

Did you have same IVs? Were your score similar ('cause I know you got that amazing 99/99)? And probably an odd Q (I hope it won't cause any trouble): Do you think one person could drag down/up the other from the Couple?

Thanks for answering!

hello guys,
No wamba, I am just a K1 fights' fan. Of course when you say K1 you say Ernesto Hoost or Remy Boniasky.

Answering your question ManuNastai: yea right I was in couples match. Fortunately our applications were pretty similar so we got interview calls in the same places. We did't hesitate to let them know about each other whenever we had the chance: PS, Profile, Interview day, thank you letter.

About the fact that one could drag up or down his partner...I don,t know. In my oppinion credentials can influence only the number of interviews. So one has to call the places where she/he has been invited and tell about the other one. Your ranking in the match is based much more on your interview performance.
Ok, I hope this answered your questions. GL

Thanks for answering. I have another one: This may be a stupid question, but can you go through the Couples Match if one applyes for one speciality (i.e. surgery) and the other for another (i.e. IM) to end up in the same hospital?

of course you can go. It doesn't matter which speciality your partner is applying for.


LifeIn The Fast Lane...which match do you consider "regular" and which one "irregular"?grin


  #15

I'd rather be "surprised" by the regular match than by the "irregular" one....grin
