prematch n step 3 - imagination - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2008 I was wondering, is there any relation betwn prematch and step 3? I mean if a candidate dont have step 3 can he still b offered prematch? any chance, or step 3 is (sort of mandatory) to get prematch offer? I understand the chnces for prematch will increase with st 3, but is it really mandatory? thnks in advance 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2008 You can get a prematch without step3 Most of my friends who got prematched last year didn't have step3 As you said it will increase your chances GL. 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-09-2008 thnx phantom, i got that, any more opinions 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 looking at the dire competition this year, step 3 will def be a criteria PDs will use to offer a prematch......what do other folks think abt this? 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 i dont think so... 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 @right_doc.....the reason why u dont think so?? plz calrify 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 They will be two candidates with similar credentials needing visa. PD wants to give one pre-match position. He would definitely go for the one who have done Step3. So simple! 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 You are right ghost. 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 I talked to some of the residents and their view is, they would have done better on st 3 during residency compared to before that. Thats why i am double mined, whether to go with it or not. If the PD has two good candidate without step 3 , then i think he will prefer who does btter on iv. Another senario, what if i go with st 3 now and score less, will scoring less affect the iv? Or the best will be to go for exam and just pass it? 0 - ArchivalUser - 10-10-2008 hey miya nothing is absolute as ever it wont be a definite criteria but could help thats all i meant! |
