Hello,
Thanks for any help you guys can provide. As you know, the d-day for this application cycle is right around the corner (5/15), and I have a ques. that I think can be best answered by this group.
I am thinking about attending school in one area of the country, but confident that I would like to do my residency in another area, near where I am from. My question is--is it even possible to enter only one program in the match, if you are confident that this is the only program you want? My parents and I have discussed this idea, I mentioned that you only want to rank programs that you would like to go to-what if there is really truly only one choice in your mind??
If you don't end up matching, could you maybe figure out a research position at that institution for the year, and reapply for the match? It seems at that point you could work there for the year and get to know people-but this might not work with loans??
Thanks for letting me know if this is possible-though I know it is risky, I just would like to know how inane this idea is.
