Hi,
I am sending this Q with the hope that i will get guidance. During match day( march 17th) if i matched to one program and on march 18th got an opportunity to start residency in my favourite program by call ( before or during scramble) can i accept my favourite offer or i should commit to match result. I mean before signing to matched program can i accept other one. Please some one advice if there is any chance i can accept my favourite program in this situation.
Thanks a lot.

Re: dr_ptlakshmi@yahoo.co.in TheOne - 02-17-08 16:13 If you get matched on March 17th then.. That's it!! It's 100% binding.. No 2nd thoughts. I recommend you read the NRMP facts before going anywhere.

Re: dr_ptlakshmi@yahoo.co.in InSitu - 02-17-08 19:40 If you are matched then done...no scramble thoughts. Aside from NRMP violation, I also think its very unethical to hold a spot when many are waiting desprately to get that spot.

Re: dr_ptlakshmi@yahoo.co.in mindswapper - 02-17-08 21:27 I do not think it is possible in the 1st place. Not only it is unethical, it is ILLEGAL!
Illegal in the US means: the end of ur career!
