Is it possible to transfer into the specialty you were unmatched from?

Thanks for the responses everyone! I've set up a meeting with PGME to discuss my options . Will update if I learn anything that may be of use to future residents in this situation

Hey, I successfully transferred into a competitive field that I initially missed my interview for. PM me to talk if interested.

 

As for prospective transfers, the process was really smooth and there's way too much negative talk and fear mongering here. My PD was supportive, and the PGME offices were pleasant, albeit not transparent. I would recommend emailing prospective programs directly and not replying solely on PGME to find a spot. I found mine via directly talking to the program. I realize that statistically it is still really unlikely to transfer, but, if you're lucky enough to have a spot available that's willing to take you, it wasn't as scary as I had thought.
