prematch still possible???

Hey guys,

I know the deadline for changing quota was Jan 31. But...

do you think the program will still offer prematch?

Possibly so for the right candidate. But, it is pretty late in the game.

Thanks, Rob.

can the program offer prematch "legally" after sending in its quota (NRMP deadline was 1/31)? how much trouble (to PD) for doing that?

I think after they send in their quota they can only offer you a new spot, they would still have to offer the previous spots as planned. There is nothing stopping them from doing this I don't believe except the money to pay for you.

This is the last year of out of match spots from what I hear. Actually I am kind of glad. It is kind of unfair to the folks that have to go through the match. And, some programs put undo pressure on some people to go outside the match.
