I have no clue what I’m doing.

My advisor just told me to decline half of the away rotations that I’ve been offered because I won’t be able to match at them. But it’s not like I’m turning down other places that I could Match at in exchange. These are the offers that were made. And really, that just does a ton for my confidence at this point too.

He told me to apply to programs that I liked and I did.

I told him many months ago that I had no clue what I was doing. And now he decides to help.

What the hell.

Away Rotations

I’m currently attempting to plan away rotations for the MD4 year while looking at programs for residency. How the hell is someone supposed to choose? Some programs just look all the same. And then there are competitive classmates talking about the ‘ranking’ of programs. How do they know? And I don’t think that I really care about the ranking as long as I like the program?

It’s so frustrating. Especially since I still have applications out for places that I’d rather go. So then I feel bad about accepting backup rotations just in case. But after having one program cancel their rotation due to ‘department changes’, I am a little paranoid.

Is it wrong to accept an away rotation if I don’t think that I like their residency program? Even just for a backup? Ugh.
