seems like some programs treat their away rotators poorly and ignore them- is that because they are elitist and dont care? seems like people really didnt like harvard and ucla < literally that is UCSD horrible experience < what happened at UCSD

lol no not at all waste of $$ and a month of your time < + 10000x < if you have no geographic ties, it's even more worth it to do an away < I'd add to this by suggesting an away and securing a letter as well < only one worth doing is Loma Linda. They match an appreciable number of away rotators< Idk about this, I recieved interviews in states I have never been to, you never know who knows your letter writers and/or what a program is looking for
