Is it too late to apply for away rotations?

I was counting on an away at a hospital that didn't work out to a date discrepency and now I want to
apply to other programs for Oct/Nov. Is it too late to get a spot at most programs? I just don't want to
waste my money if my chances are slim to none. Especially interested in HSS. Thanks

Re: Is it too late to apply for away rotations?

I applied for an elective in early June and got it...just made a couple of phone calls after I turned in my
application and they approved it. But it wasn't at HSS...I would think there's a lot of competition for
electives there. In any case, I don't think it would hurt to apply...the money you spend is just a drop in
the bucket when you look at the big picture.

I was scheduled for an elective at HSS in October, and I called in August to change the service I was on.
There were still several to choose from.

plus, you don't need to send any money to HSS if i remember correctly. i sent in my forms to wash u
just a couple of weeks ago and had no problem getting my desired dates. good luck!
