I am an AMG and ended up scrambling into a surgical-prelim program this year after failing to match in ENT. My program advised me, given our history of getting prelims into competitive subs after pre-lim years to do this (although I realize that they can't possibly do this on a regular basis). I know that my odds of matching will now be a lot more difficult than they were when I applied as a 4th year. My plan right now is to reapply into ENT next year, but also be realistic and broaden into another specialty - Anesthesia, Radiology, General Surg, IM, EM, whatever. Any objective data on people successfully matching categorical after a preliminary year into these things? A small part of me is concerned that I will just never get a job after my preliminary year despite otherwise having scores, grades and letters that would have made me highly competitive in these other fields I might end up applying to.
