I'm a M3 right now and I've been dating my boyfriend (now fiance) long distance for 3 years now. We want to make sure we land in the same city after I graduate so that we can get married in settle down.
We are specifically thinking about Dallas since that's where his family is. I'm currently at a MD program at a state school (not Texas) and I have a very average GPA, and I had to take Step 1 twice.
Would it be risky if I only applied to programs in Dallas? i'm interested in family, IM, peds, and psychiatry (I know, I haven't really narrowed it down). I'm worried about not matching at all since I'm not a very competitive student but at the same time, location really matters to us because my fiance has to be able to find a job in that city (he's currently in DC) and we want to be near family.
Am I risking being unmatched by limiting myself this way?
