Thankfully, he has an excellent personality. He’s the kid who’s everyone’s favorite…at jobs, at school, amongst family members, etc. He’s very funny, down-to-earth, caring, and responsible. (of course he has given his MOM more than her share of gray hairs, but that’s to be expected !! 
)
During his med school app year, I was certain that any med school who’d interview him, would accept him. And that did happen.
Ok…so “away rotations” could be a big help. Luckily, we have relatives that live near a number of med schools. I know that he was concerned about lodging issues with “away rotations” but he’s received many offers to provide a bed for him for those stints. 
Also rotatingroom.com is a website for med students doing aways to sublet out there place/find sublets at other places. Requires a med school email to list/respond to a listing.
I’ll let you know in a month haha
