Choosing programs to apply to.

[Frijolero]

The further I get in 3rd year the more I lean towards family and I'm wondering what resources people are using to choose programs they want to apply to? Is there any type of central ranking or feedback system I can use to evaluate programs? Right now I'm just using word of mouth(err...keyboard), Freida, and scutwork. Besides that and picking cool cities, what other resources are people generally using to pick programs? Specifically, I'd like a directory that tells me if the residents are genuinely satisfied, % FMG's, and if the program is unopposed or not. Anything like this exist, or am I dreaming? I just don't want to end up picking a residency based on how many gold stars some sub-I gave it on scutwork....

If you can, attend the AAFP Resident & Medical Student Conference conference in Kansas City. It's a great way to evaluate almost every residency in the country.
