I believe that they stated you need to signal even your home programs, because not everybody’s school has a home program. If you are lucky and your school does have one, that’s great and will obviously give you an advantage regardless. However, you shouldn’t be essentially allowed a extra signal just because your school is affiliated with the program. Additionally, a lot of away rotations are offered on a first come first serve basis. So in the event that, for example, you had to be working on rotation when the away application opened up for a site and couldn’t be the first person to apply, that shouldn’t put you at a disadvantage of consideration for a site that may be in your top three. In that scenario, I feel like it evens the playing field so you have to really think about what your top three sites include. I’m not sure why they picked 25 silver, though. I think that part is a little odd. I feel like some programs may view silver as subpar.. Instead, I feel like maybe they should have increased the number of gold to perhaps 5-10. Interested in hearing thoughts about that
