If I match to an advanced program on my primary rank order list (ROL), but do not match to one of the linked preliminary programs on my supplemental list, will the algorithm keep going down my list to match me to both position types?

No. If the algorithm has matched you to an advanced position on your primary ROL and is not able to match you to a preliminary position on your linked supplemental ROL, it will not keep going down your list. In that case, you are committed to the advanced position and must seek a qualifying first-year position during the Match Week Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program® (SOAP®) or after SOAP concludes. If a preliminary position is not obtained prior to July 1 in the year of the Match, you are responsible for submitting to NRMP a request for a waiver of the match commitment to the advanced program.
