I hear that if I'm applying to transitional year programs, I'm competing with dermatologists, radiology, PMR and some other competitive specialities that require the TY (at least for DO). I'm 95% certain I want to do FP but I wouldn't mind doin a TY to think about it. But, it would look pretty bad to apply to the TY AND FP spots at the same hospitals - so I need to choose. My priority is to be in California - so should I just apply FP and hope that 5% doubt doesn't surface? Is the TY even true that I'd be competing with the "smarter kids"? Any advice from those who have been through the grind is appreciated, thanks
