Hi,
I received a prematch offer from an IM program with 24 hours to decide. I had no time to think this through, so I decided to accept and signed the contract. This was a very difficult decision for me because my top program of choice was elsewhere. I had contacted the other program (my top choice in rank) to see what they may say, but they only got back to me (with a positive response) after I had signed the contract. I have not withdrawn from NRMP match yet. Now, I am in this dilemma. On the one hand, I signed the contract for the prematch program. On the other hand, there is a good chance my top choice would rank me high. I would love to go back and not sign the contract and go for match. I am really concerned that breaching the contract may have consequences for me. What do you all think? Any input is appreciated. I am really anxious and I am not sure what to do. Thanks!
