Question about core and away rotations

So I am considering the possibility of getting accepted to a great school at an undesirable location. Now, I was wondering, how much opportunity do I get to live in other locations (other states) in medical school?
1. Do most schools require you to do core rotations in affiliated hospitals?
2. When it comes to elective rotations, how many away rotations (out of state) rotations can you do that is outside of your school's affiliate network? Can I literally do all my elective rotations in another state? So in other words, can I spend the entirety of my fourth year in a completely different location as my medical school?
3. Is there any restrictions on which elective rotations a student can apply to? Is it like when applying to med school, where your UG has no bearing on which med program you can apply to?
4. Is there any restrictions on which away rotations a student can apply to? Is it like when applying to med school, where your UG has no bearing on which med program you can apply to?

Thanks!

I would think you need to ask this from your school as they are the only people who can answer this information. I know dartmouth has some pretty great away rotations. s

Yes, generally all of 3rd year and some amount of 4th year

2. When it comes to elective rotations, how many away rotations (out of state) rotations can you do that is outside of your school's affiliate network?

Varies. 5 or less probably

Can I literally do all my elective rotations in another state? So in other words, can I spend the entirety of my fourth year in a completely different location as my medical school?

Those are different questions. All of 4th year isn't elective

3. Is there any restrictions on which elective rotations a student can apply to? Is it like when applying to med school, where your UG has no bearing on which med program you can apply to? 4. Is there any restrictions on which away rotations a student can apply to? Is it like when applying to med school, where your UG has no bearing on which med program you can apply to?

Some away programs have minimum step scores or other restrictions at their own discretion. It isn't based on state


Thanks!
