1. Where will you end up after Residency?
West Coast? Stanford or UCSF
Southeast? Duke
Northeast? Columbia
2. Which program do you like the best? Pick one
3. Which program do you think offers the best experience for you? Pick one
There is no right or wrong answer and many students end up matching at their second or third choice program. This may seem like a big deal to you right now but in ten years it simply won't matter nearly as much. All your programs are excellent and will NOT impede your career in any manner.

Thanks for the response, I appreciate it. Took the post down because I'm being a bit silly asking strangers on the internet for direction on this when I already have the information I need.
