nyc123... i am sorry to hear you won't be able to go to MGH - it is an amazing program.... what i would suggest: 1) speak bluntly w/ Warren Zapol or Keith Baker about your issues and they may offer alternate solutions to any issues you may have or they may have contacts in NYC to assist you --- specifically Cornell has a lot of old MGHers there so there are some close ties. I don't believe you can switch spots, but the sooner you talk to them the better your chances of providing some peace of mind...
