i would only get the prematch if its in the top 3 of my list. i have also had a dilemma like that because i'm also looking at some of the hospitals you mentioned. In the end, i took the prematch at my hospital because of the location (safe, laid back, has a population that I wanted, good community support for minorities like me), program (takes good care of residents, allows outside rotations, has VERY good residents as some had pediatric training already), and feedback from residents.
If you like the idea of doing your morning rounds and inpatient rounds and living in that area, then take the prematch. If you still have doubts, then it means something.
