Does anyone else find it extremely unfair that DO's and FMG's can accept offers from programs prior to the match and US Allopathic graduates cannot. As someone who is going into family medicine and worked extremely hard during medical school, I find it discouraging that my top choice program has already given two spots away to DO applicants even before the match. Although this program still has 11 spots, it would be so much easier for me to accept a prematch offer and start looking for a house now, as opposed to waiting two months and wondering if in fact I'll match there.
The system should work for everyone - we have to do a match then everyone should have to do the match (or at least wait until post-match to accept offers). Just a little frustrated...
