Natasha Bedingfield says it better than I do:

"feel the rain on your skin

Only you can let it in.. "

I would take the pre-match and live stress free. If you want to get into a university program, keep in mind you will need a lot of univ IVs to be able to match. You will also be competing with AMGs. So its upto you.

To me it sounds that you DO NOT WANT THIS PRE-MATCH... No one can answer for you, or give you more inspiration... However, it you still want that inspiration, read this and other forums to the bottom and count how many people did not match after they declined pre-match... Or just went through match...

hey docydocy

you mind posting your credentials- scores ( 2D/3D) and other things you might have had.
Any US masters that you might have done? Or what sort of USCE you had? Externship/bservership etc?
It will really help applicants here to know what they may expect and what not of this match. You needn't tell the program you got the prematch.
thnks

hey pubmed i have posted my credentials. I dont have any masters degree. No publications. I do have US lors and do not have very high score e.g. 90( mean of step 1 n 2) 75 in step 3. 7months of US clinic experience. I guess this much is enough info.

I understood that you have 5 interviews as of now. I would definitely consider taking the prematch. Your scores are good but not the scores that you like to take a risk...
