Almost time to apply and I’m sure I’ll be applying into Neurology. My entire family and all my friends live in my Midwest state. My fiance is also from this state and would prefer to stay near family (doesn’t mind moving for me but strongly prefers here). As such, I am thinking of only applying to Midwest programs, and applying to every program in my state even if not the most known. As such, there’s a chance I’ll match to a “meh” residency when maybe I could match to a stronger residency if I widened my geographic preferences a bit (not to be braggy, but top school in the Midwest with 7/8 honors in core rotations, 260 step 2, some leadership, multiple pubs).
But location does matter a lot to me. Is this a bad idea, will I likely regret it later, or is this a reasonable approach?
