Residencies are competitive and NJ is no exception. Only 2 programs in NJ have open spots in the Scramble this year. I applied to some NJ residencies but ended up matching in another state. My rankings were evenly spread out between NJ and other states.
My advice would be that if you aren't limited by geographic location, then figure out what you are looking for in a program and cast a wide net. There are a lot of good programs available, especially if you don't limit yourself.
