Hello everyone I am really concerned and confused and hope instead of being rude some one among you gives me some good advice regarding my situation. I hope all of us match this year and my best wishes for all my co- applicants.

Once I get a prematch hopefully, I intend to cancel all my remaining interviews which will be of help to you guys.

I received a thankyou card from the PD and Faculty member from a hospital I interviewed at a few days ago and they did mention that I am an excellent candidate for them and encouraged me to contact them.

Now please dont ask for the name of the hospital . I can tell you my scores are 80/80/pass ,USCE 2 yrs (clinical rotations done in US) and it is a Pediatrics program.

Any advise is appreciated. Thanks in advance

If they hint u also hint if ask u to wait around for them then u simply say i have a couple of other interviews lined up also so if there is a chance of us working out together then u can give me the contract now or tomorrow .

Look anything short of u having the contract is gonna be telltale sign of stalling. If the program really wants u they will see if u r also interested in them. Which can be easily told by saying if i get do get the prematch i will join in and cnacel my rest of the interviews.

Just to maintain appearances go with their line of questioning. Its always best to have them lead on. U take control only when the direction is going where u dont want it to go.

SO IF they HINT prematch u HINT acceptance. Asking them for a prematch would be the best line only if they seem to beat around the bush, but remember something if they really want u then the contract will be on the table. Rest is usually crap.

I myself am not in the interview process neither i have applied for the match. This advice is based on the scores of posts i have seen regarding such situations.
