i need to go to same place as my husband, is it okay to apply to more than one field at one particular place, or does this hurt all chances?
Way-bad idea. Don't do it. That being said, if you are wanting an IM or FP program, you'd probably get 2 offers, but if you want something that takes more than a pulse to get, you'd better think twice. I've seen a few people do it, and it never works out.jj2134 said:i need to go to same place as my husband, is it okay to apply to more than one field at one particular place, or does this hurt all chances?

wilner2 said:So say somebody doesn't know for sure if they are interested in Radiology vs. Ortho. Surgery and are trying to figure that out during their fourth year rotations. They shouldn't apply to both fields on September 1st (date ERAS opens) if there are some schools that you would apply to both of their programs (ortho and rads)? If that is the case, would they be better off just applying to the one field they may be leaning towards and then submit for the other field if they end up changing their mind?
MD Dreams said:So the question I have is do different programs at the same institution cross match each others lists to see if students are applying to more than one program? If not, then how will they ever find out?
I really need some help with this issue so please people give me you insight. Thanks.
androman said:Please correct me if I am wrong. So what everyone is bascally saying is that if I choose to Rank Radiology in Program X it would be ill-advised to also rank Internal Medicine in that same program as a backup plan?
MD Dreams said:I think the expectation that PD's have that a 3rd/4th year Med student has to be in LOVE with only one specialty and devote the rest of his/her life to that specialty is ridiculous. Even ERAS allows us to apply to more than one specialty. So why can't PD's be cool with that? The whole system is screwed.
I appreciate everyones help.
