rotation mill, don't take away rotators, may be worth getting a letter

agreed completely. the letter could be helpful. Even if you're from a top school, I'd still target aways at other good institutions with a better track record for IV aways

Are there any "top" schools that *aren't* rotation mills? It seems like none of the academic programs' aways mean anything for interviews

emory and miami

I knew about emory, does miami also guaruntee an interview?
