Is the situation for IMGs, better or worse than what it was before?
I mean with regard to residency matching.
A couple of years ago, when I was still a student planning my mle, I seemed to know a lot of seniors who took all the steps, and the next thing you know, they are on their way to start the residency! and some of them had very average scores. it just seemed a lot easier for people ( FMGs) who were matched 2-3 years ago.
Now, most of my friends who expect to be matched, ( even with very good scores), seem to be having a really hard time.
Is this just a co-incidence?
Let's start a poll and see what you think.
But also scroll down to steptaker post where he presented documented statistics from the NRMP, read that post before you respond to the poll.
