SGU vs KCUMB

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I am matriculating at a US MD school in NYC this fall. I did an SMP at, and researched at multiple schools of UMDNJ. The three most represented med schools among the many residents, fellows, and young attendings I met at UMDNJ (which we can probably generalize to be at a low university level for residency rating) were NJMS, RWJMS, and SGU. If there were 1100 enrolled in the class that produced a match list of 600 (i hope someone can provide a source, i doubt SGU has such significant attrition, but if that's the case please show me), then KC is certainly the safer choice



One thing we agree on

I'm pretty sure the sources are in here

Congrats on the acceptance man. I know you've battled hard for that. Comeback all-star story! Best of luck to you.
 
In regard to a question about AUC rotations at Texas hospitals, an AUC site visit report was released by the State of Texas proving a very satisfactory residency match percentage:http://s3.amazonaws.com/static.texa..._Site_Visit_Report_for_Coordinating_Board.pdf

A 63% match rate, with primarily PC residencies, doesn't seem satisfactory to me.

I'm also looking at the average number of matriculants vs. those they graduated, and the numbers look... off. For example, 240 students were graduated from July 2009-June 2010; but there appear to be around 380 matriculants (Standard 8, Paragraph 2). Assuming there's a steady number of matriculants, the numbers suggest there's actually a 60-65% raw graduation rate (240/380). On a similar note, the following year's class may have had a little more than half (205/380, assuming the matriculant numbers are the same) eligible for the Match.

63% of those (~129) were placed through the match... so 129/380, or 33%, made it through the entire process on the first go (no failures, Step I/II passed, matched without scrambling).

I could be totally off with those numbers; and if I am, I'd be happy to hear where the errors are (never was great with stats!).
