interviewed at LICH, NYU, Fushing, St. Barnabas, Methodist
cancelled the rest as I was getting ready for prematch

Matched at:
accepted prematch at LICH as it was questionable if I would be certified in time for the deadline
Good luck to all future applicants!
One advice - be sure you can live with a prematch decision. Even if you are really sure, there will always be moments of doubt. Don't be tempted too easily, try to go to as many interviews as possible. I made the mistake in spreading them out too much so I had to make a decision before I could go and see them all. I'm happy with what I did, but as I said it wasn't easy and it required a lot of thinking and heart ache.

This thread do not apply to most IMGs applicants. In fact, most of the people who posted here do not have normal IMGs visa status (GC,H4, etc.) and this, for sure, makes it easier for them to fill their interview boxes.
