Rotators at BWH last year, thoughts? Out of curiousity, did you spend any time at Boston Childrens Hospital or their suburban hospitals, if so how is that experience?

Need to choose between vandy and U Tennessee for an away, can't do both because of geography bias and what not. I hear both are solid programs with good operative exposure. I know vandy lost some big name faculty years ago but maybe has since recovered. Have 2 other aways scheduled for the northeast and southwest so looking to cover the south and midwest with this one

| UVA vs Rush Away Rotation |

Hello, I was offered an away rotation for one month at both UVA and Rush. Not sure which one to go with. I know UVA is a great program, but I can't really see myself wanting to live in Virginia and therefore probably wouldn't want to match there. Only the other hand I really like Chicago but don't know much about the Rush neurosurgery program and their website does not have a ton of information regarding their program.
Anyone rotated at Rush or UVA that can share their experience/knowledge? Any insight/comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

Is this a major faux pas or am I paranoid? I've applied to 2 spots for a total of 2 aways but have yet to hear back. Not sure if I should apply to others and risk eventually withdrawing or canceling on the first couple.
Thanks

Curious what everyones outlook is on the self run private practice model. Seems like everything is going towards employed. I've always wanted to run my own practice, wondering if it will still be a viable option in a few years.

MS3 here. Have the scores, research, and dead set on Neurosurgery. Looking to go to a larger research center.
From what I have gathered, the name on LOR often matters more than the exact content of the letter. For example, a mediocre letter from Lawton is more turns more heads than an excellent letter from a neurosurgeon who isn't well known.
Are there any programs that have both? Generally a well-known surgeon with lots of connections as well as a track record for strong letters?
