My medical school specifically told our class to apply for a backup/less competative specialty if we were appplying to derm/ent/ortho or other competative specialties. I go to a mid level state school that usually has decent matchlists but nothing spectacular. Using the good old search button on this forum is seems like everyone on this forum has the exact opposite opion and says to not apply to more than one specialty as it will ruin your application to both if anyone finds out. So what gives? Will applying to two specialties, particularly at the same hospital, really hurt you in the rare instance they find out?
