I can only comment on 2 of those programs, and these are just from interviews:
SUNY-Upstate- in Syracuse which is probably a hit against it overall for a lot of people, so there is one reason. Not that Syracuse doesn't seem nice, actually it seems like a pretty cool college town. Also 2 'ship off' rotations, peds in Cinci and OB at the Brigham. They are building a new childrens hospital so then obviously no peds away. This still leaves OB in Boston, but hey, it's BWH. There's two reasons why it goes down in rank on a lot of lists. Also relatively small hospital and no CRNA's.
UMass- Worcester. Again, location, location, location. Sure it's close to Boston. Commuter rail even goes to Worcester. But it's still Worcester. I actually really liked this program a lot. Everyone of the faculty and residents were very nice and really went out of the way to be accomodating. In addition there are some very big name attendings here. I'm reading a book by one right now doing ICU. This is a real sleeper of a program, the kind that you can get into but still go anywhere out of.
