What happens if someone gets into a categorical program which provides you with the transitional year and at the same time you get into a seperate one year transitional program at another facility? Where will you end up doing your transitional year?
 
You can match in a TY year (PGY1) and an advanced program (PGY2-4).
You CAN NOT match in BOTH a categorical (PGY1-5) AND a TY (PGY1).

If you really wanted to do two PGY 1 years I suppose you could match a TY year apply to a categorical program during your TY year, but WHY?!?
