			<link>http://otolaryngologyresidencyapplicants.yuku.com/topic/2058/t/When-to-take-time-off-for-interviews-for-2011-match-.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ I know, a little early, but my institution has us already submitting our MS4 schedules so I&#39;m trying to figure things out.  I have some flex time available
to take a rotation off and my options are:
<br>
Nov 22 to Jan 1
<br>
or
<br>
Dec 20 to Jan 30
<br>
<br>
I&#39;ve been glancing at the otomatch calendar and it seems December is a better month to have off for interviews than January, but was wondering what
others&#39; thoughts were on it?

			<description><![CDATA[ Am wondering what went wrong in my application. I&#39;m seeing people with board scores below avg, not AOA, no pubs get a good number (5+) of interviews.
<br>
<br>
Only got 3 interviews and countless rejections. Board scores 240s, at least top half of class, good ENT basic science research with publ in very good journal.
Excellent letters from ENTs who knew me well and some well-known faculty, rotated away at well-known institutions and got good letters.   However, no national
presentations,... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dear everyone,
<br>
<br>
I&#39;m a rising 4th year, applying for Oto. My school just announced one of the criterias for AOA selection is that we take and pass step 2 by mid Oct, i.e.,
we have to take the exam by September 1st. I&#39;ve already scheduled the exam at the end of this year because I didn&#39;t intend to take it before
interviews. But if I keep the original date of the exam, I won&#39;t be qualified for AOA membership.
<br>
<br>
What should I do? Is AOA more important than step 2... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello. I am an ENT resident who recently bought Cummings Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, 4th Edition. I have online access and no more need for Cummings.
I have not opened the books and they are still in the original plastic shrink wrap. Some of the volumes have tiny bent corners (that&#39;s how they were
delivered to me), but otherwise they are in superb condition. I would like to sell them for $400 or best offer. If you&#39;re interested, please contact me at

			<description><![CDATA[ If you come from a middle/lower tier school, is it necessary to do away rotations? How much does it matter that your Chairmen/faculty recs would not be from
people as well known as faculty at a top 10 program (fewer connections with programs outside the region)? How about getting a rec from more well-known faculty
for research?  Thanks.

to come back into this area. How open is it now/next couple year and how much of salary hit am I taking? Went to college in Seattle, but med school in the
midwest. How early should I start making contacts and should I go through one of those agencies or cold call? Thanks
