If you initially applied to 2 specialties, but eventually decided on just one, could you withdraw apps from one school and then apply to them again in the other program?
Originally, I wanted to do Anesthesia, but unfortunately my numbers are not great and my Dean cautioned me to really think about applying to something else less competitive, so I chose to also apply to Neurology. After having done some more electives in neurology though, I've more or less completely converted. The thing is, I originally applied to many more Anesthesia programs in locations I'd like to live in, so would it be possible to withdraw from those schools and then re-apply as a Neurology applicant? Would the programs talk to each other?
