Exactly, but I can see how folks who changed their minds on a specific location could be a little concerned. When I filled out my OTS apps, I filled in the boxes as they read, from 1st preference to last, all the way down to "throughout the US."

Now, call me over-analytical, but could it be that the application process is a bit outdated, and the FAA finds it easier to send a simple "location filter e-mail," aka, geo-prefs, to get two simple, stern answers from each applicant as opposed to a list of ten?
