Upgraded to another Paediatrics seat: they held theirs and chose Float4

Let their seat go and were allotted another Paediatrics seat in a later round1

Moved to another specialty2

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (8 of them were in a state's counselling)8

Another 137 at these AIRs got Paediatrics only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.
