Letter legally binding/ a contract too per se? Obviously i can't wait for the contract before withdrawing, id have to withdraw upon signing the letter
Of intent, is it really so?/ is it safe? Sorr people, just paranoid and wanting it
Badly

I was also told that my program would send the contract in March/April. They asked me to sign the offer letter and then withdraw from the match. I did that. I think letter of intent/offer letter is a legal document. Once you sign it, u can withdraw from the match safely

You have to withdraw from NRMP before 2/22/12 once you have a letter of intent. If you go thru the match when you already have a position outside the match, then you are in violation with the NRMP, and maybe banned from NRMP for life-meaning you won't be able to go thru fellowship match.
