I scored 89/220 on step 1 and willing to take step 2 in april and step 2 CS on june to apply early in july...
I want to know what prematch is and what are the advantages and disadvantages of that option for getting a gen surg position...
thank you very much and I will appreciate any comments you have.

Prematch is getting a residency position without waiting for the match - during the interview season

basically US graduates can only apply for residencies through the 'match'

IMG can apply outside of the match which means the hospital can give you a job anytime.... ie you dont have to wait for the match to come around. just apply to the residency...
