Scheduling rotations (surgery or IM?)

So surgery and IM are the two most important rotations for me (as it is for most it seems). We get to rank rotations in order of priority for scheduling them a certain period. Essentially, only your first choice is really taken into account.

If I'm interested in surgery is it important for me to guarantee that I do my surgery rotation earlier in the year? Does it matter if I risk having my surgery rotation be at the very end of third year?

I know in the end it won't really matter but might as well make things logical.

I did surgery near the end of M3, didn't know I was interested until I tried it, and got everything together to apply on time. It was a little more work to get letters, redo my M4 schedule to fit Sub-Is, etc, but very doable. I wouldn't sweat it much.
