hello all. I'm a 3rd year medical student and long time reader of this forum. Congrats to everyone that matched! My question is about away rotations. Although this has been touched on in the past, I'm still torn between going somewhere 'big' in order to get a good letter vs going somewhere where I have a more realistic chance of matching so that i'm more than a name on paper. I'm leaning towards the latter b/c my ultimate goal is to match in the midwest. Also, judging from the recent match it looks like programs are more comfortable with individuals they have worked with. Any comments on this strategy?
Also, I would appreciate any comments on specific away rotations and whether individuals had an overall positive or negative experience. There is not a lot of specific information on most websites and I'm sure there is a lot of variability in experiences independent of a program's reputation.
Thanks a lot! Class of 2009 up to bat! Here we go.....
