I've looked everywhere for an answer and cannot find one, hopefully a resident can shed some light for me. I apologize if this question has been asked before, I just want to be sure.
1. Online it says CRIP is optional, but that means you're not interviewing with the majority of programs so you could essentially not match anywhere because you didn't interview, correct? Meaning, I should attend the CRIP no matter what (except the 1 program not participating which I will set up interview with after)?
2. If you don't receive an interview at CRIP for one of the programs you want, can I still rank them and potentially match? My chances would obviously go down for matching, but I'm still allowed to right? I'm mostly asking because I rotate with one associated with my school and they know me well, I'm thinking it would be smart to not waste an interview on me and give it to someone else since they know me inside and out. I can still apply here though right?
Any responses are GREATLY appreciated!
