Thanks Pnoy.... I can use any help I can get.  I, too, wish that everyone gets matched this year. The scramble sucks. (I'm still trying to get over that experience)

I have same degree dates as previous poster. Till now I have been a silent observer on this forum as I was studying hard for my exams. I did 2 yr PG diploma in peds finishing in 2004 and I am also a 2000 grad. I did all my study from India. I called in as well as emailed and asked about graduation cut off dates. They consider 2000 as my graduation date which they might use to cut off. However I have received 2 interview invitations in peds as my scores are good (happy face) 99/99/98/ecfmg certified. I got my score only this weekend. I will come to USA on next Monday to attend my interviews and will be here atleast till Jan. Is there a ranking of Peds program somewhere on this forum, I want to apply to more programs to be on safer side.
Does anyone know if Ped programs offer prematch to IMGs ?
