I'm applying this year for ophtho, and I'm doing a total of four one-month rotations in ophtho, all of which are in NY (one at my school and three aways in Manhattan). Just wondering if doing so many rotations in NY puts me at a disadvantage when applying to schools outside of NY. Will they look at my application and assume that I only want to go to a NY program? I don't necessarily care that much about staying in NY, though I do want to stay in the northeast (e.g. philly, boston, d.c., maryland), and I'm worried that some of these programs might not bother to interview me. Is there any way of getting around this? Is it worth it to cancel one of my future away rotations (at a program i'm unlikely to get into anyway) so my application seems less NY-biased? or should i just not worry about it...
