It depends on personal situation a lot. Which ones to choose and even if money is consideration. It might be for one who paid tops for UG, it might not be for another who had it for free because of UG Merit awards. Some people prefer to be very close to home, others want to be as far as possible. Some pay attention to ranking, others are looking for type of medical students at different schools. Again, some would dream to be in beautiful Chicago (just as an example), others do not care for it at all, still third cannot imagine living without a car. And there is a small group who had a spot at one Med. School befor applying, so they could afford to apply to very few. There is also Second Look event which is crucial to some, who actually change thier mind based on information obtained in non-stressful situation.
There are so many very personal considerations, I do not understand how others could advise on this and how anybody would actually listen to others who have completely different set of personal considerations. I would strongly advise looking at your own criteria and decide based on your own preferences.
