Just wanted to gauge the necessity of an away in terms of matching into ortho.

I have heard mixed opinions regarding this issue. As a MS III.5 and not having even applied for away rotations, it just seems like it would be program specific, for example I have heard that Rush absolutely requires it. I don't want to waste one of my few electives doing a rotation at somewhere it doesn't really matter. Any opinions or names of programs where it really matters?
