Would you all advise ranking every program you interviewed at for fellowship, whether you liked it or not? I am applying through the match (not IR) and there were some programs that struck me negatively for a variety of reasons, but I don't know if it makes sense to not rank them altogether and risk going unmatched? I have heard of some people coming out better with the scramble process, but not sure how true that is these days with increasingly competitive fellowships. I interviewed at 7 places total, the top 4 being programs and locations I like (I have expressed my interest in the first program already to the fellowship director).
