Hello,
I am dual applying to a very competitive specialty (like Ortho, ENT) and a less competitive specialty (like anesthesia, IM). I could honestly see my self doing either specialty. I have a question in regards to ranking, specifically for those who are dual applying. I watched the NRMP video on ranking, and according to the video ranking different specialties within my rank order list should not affect my chances at either respective specialty and that I should just rank in order of preference. I just wanted to verify that this is actually true, and see if anyone has had personal experience ranking two different specialties. I just have a hard time believing it doesn't affect my chances. Am I overthinking this?
Thanks
