There are were like 6000 filled by IMGs and with these schools opening it will be closer to 4500ish. The gap is closing fast and that also means that more students may be forced into fields they do not want to be in
@jojo58 Many of the new schools are MD...
Actually, 5,095 US IMGs and 7,568 non-US IMG's...

Those are the numbers of active applicants. Page 2 shows the numbers of those who matched. 2,316 US-IMGs and 3,139 non-US-IMG. Total of 5,455 spots.
So that would actually make closer to 4,000 spots left after these new schools are established (not counting preliminary and transitional)
Sorry, I mis-interpreted you!
The number of IMG's is huge. The proportion that match is very likely to decline as US schools expand faster than residency positions.
for most of these new schools, yes, but some will be very competitive (Mayo Arizona). There may also be a new school that ends up like Hofstra, which is also a fairly new school that quickly became competitive.
Neither of those is on track to open in 2017.
Go here: http://lcme.org/directory/candidate-applicant-programs/ and focus on the ones that have progressed to candidacy: Roseman, UNLV, and WSU. These are the schools on track for 2017.
Mayo-Arizona is technically a geographically distributed campus of Mayo-Minnesota.

Does that mean there will be two separate application pools for Mayo Arizona and Mayo Minnesota? Like you can choose to apply to only Arizona?
Or does it mean there will be one application pool for both Mayo campuses but now there is 50 more seats?
