does your intern year play any role in competitiveness for fellowship? would it come back to bite you to do that cushy TY instead of top prelim IM?

disagree, i think it can be helpful to network at a top prelim (BI, BWH, etc.) -- Everything matters, but I doubt your fellowship application will be made or broken by your TY or Prelim

if you do something that's not a good fit for you and you burn out, or don't like the people you're with, you won't go into derm refreshed/happy and that can hurt, so basically prelim year matters TO YOU and do what YOU want, but yes to other people externally it doens't matter one bit
