I told program A they were my number #1 choice and, you guessed it, I am having strong second thoughts. I have been going back and forth between program A and B since before I even interviewed. My head says program A but my heart is telling me program B and it's getting stronger. I told program A they were my #1 choice a couple of weeks ago and never got a response.

I know I really messed up but is there any way I can get out of this? Do I have to email them again? Can I rank program B #1 (which I am pretty sure I will match at) even though I told program A? I don't want to get in trouble of any kind but I really don't wanna spend the next 4 years at program A.

Let this all be a lesson!

Did u send a letter of intent to program A or just tell them this verbally? If you just told em off the cuff then you're under no obligation to rank them number 1

Well technically you're never under any obligation to do anything other than rank your programs in whatever order you'd like. Don't call anyone, just rank the programs how you want and be done with it. This is exactly why many many programs don't put any stock in letters of intent.

This is cross posted in general residency/match. Closing.
