I'm having a lot of trouble trying to figure out what I should signal based on my citizenship status with visas. I would love some help on what programs may be suitable for me to signal based on my qualifications and my preferences. My location preference is Southern California > Northern California > Chicago > New York. Please help!!!

Considering sending silvers to Cedars Sinai, Kaiser SF, RUSH, Zucker NY, mount sinai. Other programs I’m interested in are USC, UCSD, UCSF, UC Davis, UCI, UCLA, mayo Arizona, Uchicago. I have no idea where I stand in terms of these programs so would love some input!!!
