I have read that applications are downloaded on first come first served basis and people applying late get less if no interviews. Due to various reasons I won't be applying until Oct 30. Assuming that I don't match this year - if I apply for the next Match season, is that a considered a red flag by PDs ? Again , based on what I have read on various forums, programs have filters to remove previous applicants or maintain data of the previous years applicants .
I would really appreciate if someone could please clarify this, specially aProgDirector . Are Repeat applicants at a disadvantage ? Do they get lesser IVs ? Its important for me to know so I can decide if I should apply this year or apply next year ?
