Away We Go

Last week, Mr. turned in the second of his two away rotation (aka visiting clerkship) applications for a couple programs in the midwest. It's a little nerve wracking because to best guarantee a spot for yourself, you have to provide alternative preferences. But when applying for more than one away, you have to make sure that you're not setting yourself up for a schedule conflict. After all, it can't look good for a program to accept you for a visiting clerkship and for you to then turn them down.

At the same time, you don't want to find you've been rejected by a program only 2 months before you had anticipated starting it. I guess I'll have to let you know in a couple months how it works out for Mr. His primary concern right now is that the registrar's office mail his applications in a timely fashion. I feel this may require a lot of follow up, both with the registrar and with the visiting program site directors.
