It seems to me like many schools will say they have high placement but they actually do not. For example, if a school starts with 100 students, loses 5 along the way, has 95 graduate but only 85 pass part II boards and 85 of those 85 get a residency the school will claim they have 100% residency placement. Doesn't seem like a very fair assessment to me. I agree with the previous post that you can go to any of the 9 schools, work hard, learn as much as you can and you will get placed. Every year the stats are the same... 100% of the qualified, hard working students get placed into residencies.
