I would recommend 2 away rotations--with one being for the expressed purpose of getting a LOR from a well-known CHAIRMAN. Any research helps, and I was pleasantly surprised that I was asked about my non-ENT research on several occasions. Most of all, don't underestimate the importance of the interview. Be yourself. Stay calm. Be polite. Return to results
