I have created a plunkr to emphasize the problem, perhaps it's because the source of the ng-repeat is a function, I am not sure, but so far I've tried everything in order to solve this, and couldn't mange.

Hi Nishu, I guess your problem is AngularJS Dropdown automatically adds an Empty Value and you want to remove that blank value. The empty option is generated when a value referenced by ng-model doesn't exist in a set of options passed to ng-options. This happens to prevent accidental model selection.
In my opinion the correct way to set a default value is to simply pre-fill your ng-model property with the value selected from your ng-options , angular does the rest. Essentially when you define the $scope property your select will bind to assign it the default value from your data array.
Definition and Usage. The ng-selected directive sets the selected attribute of an <option> element in a <select> list. The option will be selected if the expression inside the ng-selected attribute returns true. The ng-selected directive is necessary to be able to shift the value between true and false .
Definition and Usage. The ng-options directive fills a <select> element with <options>. The ng-options directive uses an array to fill the dropdown list. In many cases it would be easier to use the ng-repeat directive, but you have more flexibility when using the ng-options directive.
If you use an array as model, then the model is a string not a number. So you need to convert the number to string. Just try
$scope.model.selectedLocation = '1';
