I am also still trying to figure that out!
Anyone heard back from Virginia or Utah?
I wouldn’t worry about being top heavy. Auditioning significantly increases your likelihood of matching by helping you stand apart and often ensuring an interview. If anything I think that you should be targeting top programs that you’re interested in for auditions because it opens a door that otherwise may not have been opened by scores alone.

I heard back from Utah a couple weeks ago. I applied for July-August and got rejected because they had no spots left. They didn’t offer me any other slots so I’m. It sure if they’re all the way filled, or just filled for that period.

Sept 24-Oct 19. How about you?
Any specific tips or advice for PM&R aways that haven't been mentioned elsewhere? I have hard copies of PM&R Pocketpedia and PM&R Secrets that I'm working through right now.
My home program doesn't have much PM&R and my only experience has been a subspecialty clinic, so I'm nervous going into an upcoming away rotation at a major city rehabilitation hospital! I don't really know what to expect or what I should know ahead of time, but I'm planning to show up with a positive attitude and ready to work hard.

Nice! I'm right after, Oct 22-Nov 16.
Be friendly to everyone, show a willingness and desire to learn, and work hard and you'll be fine. No one expects you to have much PM&R specific knowledge from med school. Pocketpedia is good to keep on hand for quick bits of info during downtime.
Never giv up

What’s the huge drive for PM & R? I’ve been interested in neuro in the past and have had an interest in pm&r as well but just can’t decide on it. Im going to be applying for my away rotations soon and I don’t know a lot about it and am considering throwing it into the mix.
MSK training in Neuro is quite weak. So if you like the MSK side more than the Neuro side...PM&R makes sense. I also think that PM&R has a better skills set for procedures and a variety of treatments on the whole. Neuro is still a very good specialty though...definitely consider both.
Anyone currently MS3 applying for aways? I'm so confused in term of timeline of applying for them. I'm trying to do aways around mid August/September. but it seems like most programs listed on VSAS are much earlier (around June). Also I couldn't find many programs that I expected to find on VSAS. Is it too early to apply for aways at this point? When do you start applying for them?
