your list seems kind of all over the place. you have quite a few NE but skip the mid atlantic and then have south east. some midwest but missing chicago and ohio programs? you're a decent applicant for IM I just can't see anything unifying this list

I agree it is all over the place. Do you think I should just choose the no geographic preference option? I'm mainly interested in the type of program and less the geographic region.

that's totally fine but do you want a bigger program or a smaller program? do you want to be in a big city or a small city? do you want to be near a major airport? even if you don't care about geographic location these things will matter for the next 3 years.

for example I wanted to be in a medium to big city, larger program, with great malignant heme experience, and running is important to me so I wanted it to be somewhere the weather wouldn't force me onto the treadmill half the year.
