BBB,
Thanks for taking the time out to give all of us insight and prespective.
I have emailed numerous programs but approximately about 60% have not replied back.
Is it apprpriate to ask the number of IMG currently in their residency program?
further, is it OK to mention my step 1 score?
I am some what puzzled at lack of response from programs (although I recognize that they must be extremly busy).
As for filters, in your opinion for USMLE scores, do you think there are filters for below 95. I scored a 94 and worried that I may be filtered out of many programs. On the other hand, if I had scored a 95 then I would have snuck in.
Again, thanks for your time and help.

Is it apprpriate to ask the number of IMG currently in their residency program? Program coordinators don't have the time to send an individual message to everyone who emails them. You may not get an answer.
further, is it OK to mention my step 1 score?

Again, thanks for your time and help.
