n=1, had an upperclassman do an away there but didn't get an interview, but they matched a T10 school anyways

Did an away there + gold, was told they'd "see me again" during interviews, no II. I still matched back in California at a "slightly" (I personally don't believe so after my away at Stanford) lower ranked program.

unfortuantely stanford used to have a reputation of giving a lot of IV to away rotators but this was maybe 3-4 years ago. Now, they interview <50% of people that do an away. Not worth it most likely, and whether or not you get an IV most likely wouldn't have been affected by whether you did an away.

would those probably not already be filled?
