What do you think about the mail which I got ? "Advise us whether you wanted to be in pre-match or not?"
It means that they want to know if you would like a prematch.
asked a question regarding ...H1 Visa , by what time my step 3 result should be ready? ...to my programme coordinator a couple of days ago,but there was no reply until now. Does this indicate anything?
Maybe she is off? Maybe she doesn't know. But you should have your step three results in your hand by the end of March 2005.
If they offer pre-match, Do I need to physically go there and sign or I can call them and say that I want pre-match and that is enough?
If they offer a prematch, have them express mail or fax a contract to you. Sign and return. Keep a copy for yourself. Cancel other interviews at that point.
...(I wish my programme coordinator could be as friendly like you......)
:oops:
Good luck!

I am so happy and relieved to read your reply.I got one more interview form NewYork today and scheduled that in early January.Coupled with your response, it made me very happy.Thanks a lot for this.

There is a organisation called www.fmgamerica.com which charges an exorbient price for the postmatch scramble services. Please opine on that!
Thanks once again

I've never had any contact with the FMGAmerica organization. I think that I would check them out before giving them any money. Find out placement percentages and references and how long they have been in business.
Since I haven't had a scramble position since I left the community hospital in 1992, I can't help here...... :P

Thanks BBB
You have been so transparent and honest in your replies.
They are charging 1200$ and they maintain a website on candidate's name which will be active for a couple of days at the time of scramble.They try and change the personal statement(I dont know how that helps..)and give interivew tips for Phone interviews.They conduct 3 mock interview calls and help in getting externships and update the ERAS application......(I know that ERAS application is locked and can not be updated at all)
Anyway,thanks for BBB for help....
I got the mail for prematch offer around 15 th ......Havenot heard from them since.When do you think is the time to contact them again? Christamas and Newyear probably are the reasons for delay.WHEN DO YOU THINK IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO CONTACT THEM AGAIN , ASKING MY STATUS? DO THEY THINK ,I AM AGGRESSIVE AND AUDACIOUS? or SIMPLY MORE ANXIOUS AND INTERESTED? Is it good to contact them again or NOT?
Please answer this.........Thanks very many
