Last year at your rank, and this year

Kept their Round 1 seat2

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

Let their seat go and were allotted another Ophthalmology seat in a later round13

Moved to another specialty10

Let their seat go and held no MCC seat after (7 of them were in a state's counselling)8

Another 37 at these AIRs got Ophthalmology only in Round 2, Round 3 or the stray round.
