I had a question that I couldn't really find the answer to when doing preliminary searches.
So if I'm applying to advanced programs, and rank prelim/transitional programs with the advanced programs, but also apply to a few categorical programs (in a different specialty) as a backup, could I still end up being matched to a preliminary/transitional program if I don't match to an advanced or my safety categorical spots?
In other words, if I manage not to match into both the advanced programs and the categorical programs ... will the algorithm then match me to a prelim/transitional year, even though I didn't match into an advanced program?
Thanks!
