thoughts on doing an away at brown? seems like this year they didn't interview a lot of away rotators, is this usual or is this year different?
usual, it's known that they only interview ~1/2 of their aways, you'll just have to weigh how strongly you want to match there/how strong of an applicant you think you are and how likely you are to impress with those odds
try to be honest with yourself about how well you do in a social setting! if you are a hard worker and pleasant to be around it will go a long way
agree with this - I'm very glad I rotated at Brown this year
I had a great experience rotating at Brown and learned a lot, but did not receive an interview. Even if you have the stats + did well on the rotation you are not guaranteed an interview. If I could go back in time, I'd probably choose a place with better odds of getting an interview like Emory.
> how do you impress on aways?
personally I think it ends up being 80% personality and 20% knowledge/technical skills, if you click with people and are pleasant to be around that goes a long way
POOP
