I have been offered a pre-match at a nationally ranked I.M. program and need some advice/info. It is my #1 choice out of the 8 programs that I have already interviewed with, however I still have 8 more interviews to attend, some of which are in my home state.
Does anyone know....if you decline a pre-match offer and decide to take your chances in the Match, will that specific Program still rank you (near the top, near the bottom, or not at all)? In other words, if I don't take the pre-match then am I kissing my chances of training there goodbye?
My stats: Caribbean student, excellent GPA and LOR's, 99/99 on USMLE exams. I am leaning towards becoming a hospitalist, so future fellowship opportunities are not such of a big deal for me.
