Is WashU really that bad of a rotation mill? I got my first offer from them, but I have applied to lower tier programs with no luck. My application is mediocre, so should I turn it down if the odds of an II are low to begin with? x 2 lol

you will not get a letter of rec from WashU which they tell you on your first day. Lots of shadowing, rarely get to present to attendings who will not remember your name

so theres basically nothing you gain/no building a connection that can increase your chances of a II?

its one thing for a program to not gaurantee rotators an interviewer, but it's even more heinous when they won't even write you a LOR???? Like i'm dropping bands for zero

literally robbery, and thats something that should be disclosed before applying and not something you are told ON the rotation

recently matched applicant- i would suggest reaching out to coordinators/PDs/any contacts you have at other places you applied to aways at, let them know you have an external offer for x month but would prefer their institution if given the opportunity. this worked for me once, and once is all you need! alternatively if you get an offer later after youve accepted washu, would rescind washu if the new offer is known to take rotators/write LORs
