If you really absolutely would not move there, no matter what, then don't go.

If you would consider it, even if you don't think it's your first choice, you pretty much owe it to yourself to go. You need to walk their halls, meet their people, and see what your heart tells you.

This is not an easy path. I agonized over the decision to rank MGH #2 behind a substantially "lesser" program. I may yet live to even have regrets about that choice. However, one-plus years in, I feel very secure in my decision, because I'm happy and my wife is happy, and that's probably worth more than any number of publications.

Elected not to go... really too big of a program, with 20 first year residents next year... next largest program I applied to was 12.
