The PD at my home program "A" knows the PD at another program "B". Both programs A and B are my top 2 choices. I have not interviewed at program B yet, but my PD told me that when I do interview there to have the PD at program "B" call the PD at my home program "A", so that he can put in a few good words (I'm assuming). I'm very much interested in my home program, and the PD told me that I will be ranked high. However, I know there are no guarantees that I will get into my home program since there are a lot of good applicants and very few spots.
What should I do in this situation? I want to ask the PD at my home program what my chances are of matching, but I don't want to seem "pushy". I also would like him to contact the PD at program "B" and put in a few good words but I don't know how I should go about this in an appropriate and professional manner. What should I say? Is it alright to ask my home PD whether he thinks I have a good chance of matching there? Would I appear not interested in my home program if I ask my PD to call the PD at the other program "B", and risk being ranked lower in my home program?
What are your thoughts on this? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
