Applying for internship and potentially declining?

[PreVetGator]

Hi!

I am a current 4th year at cornell and am contemplating doing a rotating internship after graduation, or due to some personal circumstances that make it a bit difficult to move away from my current location, I may decide to work a year near cornell and then do an internship the following year. My question is regarding matching into an internship and then declining it. Would I then be blacklisted from all internship programs moving forward? I understand I may not get accepted into that specific internship the following year, but would the option still be available for other programs?

You should not enter into the Match if there is any chance of you attempting to get out of that contract, imo.

If you match to a program and decline the spot, you are barred from applying to any program in the match for 3 years, outside of extreme extenuating circumstances
