			I already accepted my fate as my own doing.  No need to be mean about it. I tried to get rotations out West but most were full (and I applied almost a year ahead) so its not like I was a slacker and just assumed things would happen.  I did do 2 rotations out West but I only have so many electives I can use. I have a family to take care of so it's not like I can just up and leave any time of the year. Plus I can only go by what my school told me. Either way, I don't know why I have to defend myself here, I'm not blaming anyone for my situation. It is what it is.
		
		
	 
There are still positions open on the Osteopathic scramble.  Have you considered moving to the midwest?  There is one position open in Brooklyn if you like a big east coast city.  If you want more information on the locations in Michigan PM me.
