Hi,

Does anyone have experience with applying for aways? What are typical odds of getting away rotations? I was given the advice of applying to 4-5 programs.

I'm looking to do an away rotation in the northeast and applied to 5 courses, but in the same month and with the same institution (my reach/dream program). I won't find out whether or not I got any of them until late June, but I'm afraid that if I get rejected I won't have time to apply for other ones.

What should I do in the meantime? Send out more apps to other institutions in the region?
