Well i did apply to multiple tracts. Some of the people on this website previously also did that. I think it is ok to do it! Hopefully!!

yeah i have heard it is okay to apply to multiple tracks..however i think one must be sure they are okay with either option..for example the research tracks are usually different (more than 3 years, different rotations, different expectations, etc.)..if you get an invite from a program that offers research track, i think you should go into the interview expecting to be an academic scientist.

I think this is extremely program dependent. Some programs are fine with you applying to multiple tracks, but then only extend an interview invitation for a specific track (ie. you cannot interview for other tracks by that point). Others invite you for interview, then only ask you to identify a track after you have matched. Then there are those that ask you to pick a track up front at the time of application.
