VSAS Timeline

[BillrothI]

Hey Everybody,

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from programs regarding away rotations on VSAS? My school is requiring our finalized schedule for M4 by early-May. Do most students receive a response by then, or do schools often respond significantly later? Specifically, I'm hoping to do away rotations in DR and IR from August through October.

Thanks!

-Bill

It’s really program dependent. I’ve heard anywhere from within a week of applying to over 1 month. Occasionally the program will list a date on VSAS, but usually not. It helps if you know anyone who applied to those aways last year - they can give a rough estimate.

From the experience of my friends who went through the process last year, April is a pretty common month to hear back

Not yet. It does appear to be institution-dependent, though, as several friends just recently heard back from various programs. Hang tight!
