Hello, I saw some previous advice on this question that was 4-5 years old so I wanted to post again and see if opinions had changed. I am a 4th year student applying to an advanced specialty and then using IM as my backup. Can I apply to an IM categorical position and a prelim position at the...
Hi, I'm currently a pgy-2 preliminary doing General Surgery at Johns Hopkins. I have over 260 in the steps and the best Absite score in my class scoring 99th percentile and have great evaluations from my attendings and peers. I'm currently sitting at 290 major cases but I'm expecting to finish...
Hi everyone! I'm an MS4 applying to anesthesia programs and had a question about how the rank list works. I've heard TY and prelim years are getting more and more competitive. So my question is, if I match into an advanced spot but fail to match into a PGY1 spot, will my rank list just move...
Just posting to share my story although now irrelevant, I kind of need to vent.
I (a DO) applied to general surgery last year and did not match in AOA or acgme. During the soap my #1 acgme program where I interviewed offered me a preliminary spot. I took it thinking this could be a second...

I'm currently in a PGY-1 prelim, applying to PGY-2 categorical and prelim positions. At the moment I've been accepted into a prelim PGY-2 program but I'm still looking for that elusive categorical spot anywhere that would take me.
My question is, in these postings that open up for...
About me: U.S. allopathic MD4, step 1 209, step 2 214.
Goal: categorical general surgery in California.
Situation: I matched into a prelim general surgery spot, likely not in California.
Question: When do I apply for PGY-2? Do I re-register for the match? Can I opt out of the match and apply...
The two options I have on my rank list at the moment are a categorical position at Brookdale hospital in Brooklyn and a preliminary position at case western reserve in Cleveland. I need any input I can get if any one has any experience with the surgery programs in either place? How does CW treat...
I applied to many primary care and some categorical tracks with plans to practice outpatient medicine, possibly "specialize" in geriatrics. I just completed some more consult electives and realize that I may want to subspecialize after all in fields like nephrology or gi. I'm still 50-75% sure...
