Send SA Apps to Smaller Cities/Offices for Better Odds?

Rising Junior applying to BB's across multiple divisions and was wondering how much I should factor location into my applications. I'm based in NY, but would relocate to almost anywhere in a heartbeat. Would I be better off sending an app to the smaller Menlo Park/SF locations rather than the larger (maybe more competitive) NY office? Wondering if there's any strategy to this, or if I should just generally apply for NY.
