Aways/letters during pandemic

[Guest]

Hello,

Wondering what advice everyone has received in light of many institutions not taking away rotators right now. Not sure how long the restrictions will last. Are you still applying through VSAS for summer months? Didn’t want to have more than one letter from my home state but it might be necessary if it lasts.

Bump. Anyone else receive guidance from their home institution?

it's a waiting game..... nobody knows what's gonna happen

Research year with external faculty to get a letter. I think it’d be reasonable to apply with only home letters but I’m taking time off

[Guest]

Good luck with that. Next year there will be a huge surge of applicants in NSG

Don’t think that will happen. This issue really only applies to those without a home program or less competitive applicants who need the boost from aways.

I think it remains to be seen what happens with the pandemic. Perhaps delayed rotations?

Hope it provides some insight. Still lots of unanswered questions.
