Hey! I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere. I'm wrapping up my 3rd year, and planning my 4th year out. I currently have only 1 audition scheduled with a close residency before interview season starts, and don't think I will be able to fit in any more due to some family matters/school mandated rotations.
I have a pretty solid application: 240+ USMLE, good letters, no research but a decent number of extra-curricular activities. I've already done one PMR rotation with a private doc. Am I hurting my chances at all if I don't schedule another audition? It seems like it is mostly to help better understand the nuances of the field before interviews, and to get a program to rank you higher that might not have ranked you highly just based on paper and interview. Are the majority of people are still matching at programs they didn't rotate at? Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!
