You can work on J2 but can't do residency because you are dependent on J1. You need to apply for J1 or H1 when you get into residency.

I am not saying this as I am an expert BUT...
What "I KNOW" that You definetly can do residency on J-2.. and as I think this would increse ur chances a lot coz u don't need a visa... but to be sure, u can send programs u are interested in, and ask them if they accept residency on J-2 (EAD)...
BUT AGAIN .. WHAT I KNOW IS THAT U CAN

BTW.. when on J-2 and u got ur EAD "for which u should apply early even if u still don't have a job in hands" YOU ARE AUTHERIZED TO STUDY OR WORK IN ANY PLACE IN THE US.. so I believe this includes residency.. usually it is not the programs' directors buisness.. it is more related to GME office policy... So just to be sure.. ASK THEM
