We didn't end up ranking since he took a prematch offer. If he hadn't, we most likely would've ranked based on program quality and fellowship placement. The vibe and feel of a program would've also mattered, but not enough to rank a community program with mediocre fellowship placement above a good university program. Location and benefits would've come in dead last, but that's a very personal decision. I figured we had come so far and made so many sacrifices (the Caribbean truly gives you a new appreciation for many things I used to take for granted) to turn our noses up at a program in a less than ideal location or one that didn't pay so well. Granted, I was not a happy camper in Sioux Falls, SD, but we would've ranked that program as well.
I think the common theme here is that ranking is a highly personal decision. Rank based on the things that matter to YOU.
