i'm wondering if there is a list out there that breaks down the percentage of amg, img who have been successfully matched. or img-friendly hospitals so to speak.
another question i have in mind, since there r like millions of hosptials in the states.. how does one know which hospital is truly great?? what criteria does one normally consider b4hand..
i'm not applying for the match yet.. but trying to gain as much knowledge as possible for 2008 match.
thanks

2006 MATCH PERFORMANCE - NUMBER OF IMGS MATCHING INCREASES
For the fourth consecutive year, the number of first year (PGY-1)
residency positions offered through the Match increased. A total of
21,659 first year positions were offered in the 2006 Match, held earlier
this month. This represents an increase of 205 positions compared to
last year and an increase of 1,057 positions since 2002.
The number of IMGs who matched to first year positions increased by 152,
compared to 2005. Of the 8,877 IMGs who participated in the 2006 Match,
4,382* (49.4%) matched. In the 2005 Match, 4,230 (55.3%) IMG
participants were matched to first year positions.
There was an increase in the number of matches for both U.S. citizen
IMGs and IMGs who are citizens of other countries.
Of the 6,442 IMG participants who were not U.S. citizens, 3,151 (48.9%)
obtained first year positions. The number of non-U.S. citizen IMGs who
obtained positions in 2006 increased by 64 compared to last year. This
is the fifth consecutive year that there has been an increase in the
number of non-U.S. citizen IMGs matching to first year positions.
Of the 2,435 U.S. citizen IMG participants, 1,231 (50.6%) were matched
to first year positions, an increase of 88 over last year. This is the
third consecutive year that there has been an increase in the number of
U.S. citizen IMGs matching to first year positions.
There were 51 Fifth Pathway participants in the 2006 Match. Of these 51
participants, 22 (43.1%) were matched to first year positions.
*Note: The total number of IMGs who will fill PGY-1 positions for the
2006-2007 academic year will be higher than this number, since a
significant number of IMGs obtain PGY-1 positions outside of the Match.
