...Side by side i wanted to compare the residency match rate and pass rate for the USMLE since it was already obvious that the advantage of PR is that it is accredited but that is only ONE factor to consider...
You need to understand that by the time you are a 4th year medical student, the number of US med school grads will be greater than the number of US residency spots (source). This means that there will be few/zero spots for IMGs to match. The match rates currently advertised by SGU should not be used to predict your chances of matching four to five years from now since the circumstances here in the US are changing so rapidly.
As far as info goes, please everyone try to give the most accurate info as possible...also I think it would be great if people would put their credentials in their posts. This would make it easier to differentiate between valuable responses and ones that are just opinion.
Care to lead by example?
