Hi!
I'm a 3rd year MD student getting ready to apply to aways. I've currently allowed time for 2 away rotations, but I'm wondering if I should only do 1 or stick with 2?
My stats:
Step 1 - 240
Rotations - 2 Honors (Peds, IM), the rest HP, might end up with a P in OB/GYN
2nd quartile
I go to school in the southwest, and might want to stay in the area, and was planning an away in TX. But reading that thread on away locations, it makes me think I probably don't need an away in TX to "unlock" that region. Would I be right?
If that is the case, I think it would be better for me to do my 1 away in another region I'm considering going to?
TL;DR
1 or 2 aways?
If 1, would I be okay getting interviews in my region, even if my away is another region?
