I'm kind of freaking out. I have 6 II's (one being my home program) but I received 0 interview from my aways. I'm worried that I'm going to be behind the 8 ball in every interview since programs tend to rank people they already know and have rotated with. How can I compete when all of the programs I'm interviewing with have like 15 away rotators they're interviewing and I'm just the random virtual guy?

if you did your aways in top institutions, I wouldn't worry about it because they are probably notorious for that. You got the interview for a reason!

I'm in a similar boat (I posted below about trying to get feedback from my aways). something I'm reminding myself is that every match list still has people who weren’t home or away students (maybe not the majority, but definitely there)

I also got no interviews from my aways. Have no home program. I have 3 interviews. Feeling absolutely heartbroken and lost.

that fact that you got 3 II from places you didn't have connections to through home/away is actually very impressive! a lot of us didn't get interviews outside of home/away so that must mean those programs were actually interested in you- i would own that

do you think getting an interview for a non signaled place is a good sign?
