I haven’t meet anyone who didn’t do at least 2 weeks with the program before matching.
I am even surprised with someone matching at a place with a 2-week rotation but I am probably just naive about this

Some programs only allow 2 week rotations, Farmington hills is an example. But I’ve only meet a couple people who matched after a 2 week rotation at other programs. Most people did 4 weeks.
Had no idea Farmington hills was 2 weeks only. Its one of the residencies I planned on rotating at for audition season. Did you know of any other ones that are only 2 weeks?
Not aware of others that only allow 2 weeks. But having a 2 week rotation in the middle or towards the end of audition season is nice cause you can take a couple weeks off after it. Auditions are really exhausting so giving yourself 1 or 2 weeks off in the middle is really nice
Not a bad idea actually. Thank you for all the info!
I know a couple of people that did back in the day. They were invited back for a second look on a weekend to hangout and offered the spot after their initial interview. Both had 700 plus comlex scores at programs that cared greatly about board scores.
One of my coresidents did not rotate at our program but he rotated with alumni who called in a good reference.
