So with all the talk about doing away rotations, everyone keeps mentioning about places you "have to do aways" to get interviews or Match. Where are these places? How do you know which places are like this? Are they the big city, highly respected places, aka the infamous "Top 20"? Are they the places with the biggest named attendings? I know you want to do aways at places you want to go to, but I am flexible and don't know where I want to end up. I wouldn't want to end up wishing I had rotated somewhere that only interviews rotators, when I could have rotated if I had known. Catch my drift . . .

Without a doubt the #1 program in the country to rotate at to improve your chances to match is Northwestern. If you do not rotate there it is very hard to get an interview. I interviewed there and was not a rotator, but when I interviewed they mentioned to me that 42 of the 50 interviewed this year were rotators. Each year 8 of the 9 spots are filled with rotators. If you want to be in Chicago at a good name program with good (not great) training, rotate there.
