Hi, I have an interview for a prematch program in November. Could anyone tell me how long will they take to tell their decision about prematch offer after the interview? Thanks

Technically, those programs do not participate in th NRMP , match. Do they need to follow that rule ?

Hey. Are programs still offering prematches? I know they started the 'all in' rule last year, is that still valid? How do we find out if a program is a prematch program or not? When is the best time to schedule interviews for such programs? Towards the end? Does anyone know if the peds programs...

Hi, Can anyone clear my confusion? If a program participates in ERAS but not in NRMP does that mean its a prematch?

Although I read the information provided on AAMC website, I just got the idea that these two are different and some programs may participate in one and not the other. In addition, registration with one of them does not mean we registered for both. I also know that as an IMG, I have to apply...

Hey everyone! I got offered a prematch yesterday. I am really happy about it and was hoping for it.

This is a community hospital affiliated with...

Although, NRMP is very clear that there is no "prematch" this year and instead have the SOAP, following the match day, I have personally known people who have been offered places and have accepted them. Is there an unofficial prematch this year? Can programs unofficially bend rules if they like...

One of my friend who just got an IV needs your suggestion. The interview is on 28th of Oct so its just few days away. The thing is the hospital is known for offering pre match. I know most of you will be thinking that there will be no pre match this year but this is what he has told me so would...

This year, the programs are either gonna be "all-in or all-out" i.e all of the residency positions of a program will either be filled by the NRMP match, or all of their seats will be filled by pre-match. My question is, have you guys come across any programs that all "all-out"..as out of approx...
