Ortho/GS dual applying strategy Question
For people that apply ortho, do you typically dual apply ortho/categorical GS or ortho/prelim GS spots?
If you were to match categorical GS could you reapply ortho again the following year?
Is applying ortho/prelim GS seen as a red flag? Advisor today told me not to do this and said that prelim surgery spots are typically picked up in the SOAP

Idk too many people who dual apply ortho/GS but if they do it's usually ortho/categorial GS.
If you match categorical GS yes you could apply ortho again the following year. You will just have to let your GS PD know you want out in time to go through the residency application cycle again.
No one but you will know you're dual applying ortho/prelim GS unless you tell someone so no that won't be a red flag. Prelim GS spots will take any warm body.
