I have three aways on my radar and luckily one accepted me. I have a home program so was hoping to do 2 aways. The two programs I havent heard from yet at UT Houston and Howard. If I had to choose one vs the other to accept (god willing I have the choice, which should I pick and why)
Neither are good tbh but pick Houston. Howard's pay is horrendous.

I disagree. Howard residents are wonderful and while DC is expensive, look at the happiness of the residents too. Clearly they're happy and that says a lot despite lower pay

Does anybody know if UT Houston ever accepted non away rotators
So surprised people ranked these following programs pretty low: BU, Colorado, USC, Brown, UTSW, Mayo, WashU, Case, UT Houston, Utah << although I ranked UT Houston 2nd, I can understand their ranking
Does McGovern only take people who are internal/ did aways? From match list it looks like it but wanted to ask if any point in applying if I didn't rotate
McGovern / UTHealth Q: Does anyone know if we are doing an away at this program does that mean we don't have to signal them? I was told this was the case but wanted to be extra extra sure that is the consensus lol
Thoughts on UT Austin Dell med away vs UT Houston McGovern away? < Do Dell, program is better than McGovern < but does it have less spots and less likely to take outsiders / out of staters? < have you check ut houston match list yet? < I mean most programs in Texas will take their own besides UTSW basically. McGovern is all Texans besides one girl from UNC who did a research year at UTSW and then did an away at UT Houston < a student who rotated at McGovern said it was more because this person had a connection to a McGovern resident who had been a med student at UNC
