The assessment by SPs is standardized and will be the same from center to center regardless of the ratio of amg:img. So I don't think it will make any difference even if the ratio is higher in Chicago.

Let me rephrase my point. Even if there are more IMGs than AMGs in the Chicago center, it won't give an IMG any advantage over a center where there are more AMGs than IMGs. This is because the assessment is standardized.
I don't know what the ratio of img to amg is at the Chicago center and unless they release that information officially I doubt anyone can tell you with any certainty.

The only thing I know is that AMGs go for CS more in June/July than during other times of the year.

But I agree, it shouldn't matter at all.

I really don't think it makes much of a difference how many IMG's there are, but if you want to know...when I gave my CS in Chicago in August, out of about 25-26 people writing, only about 4-5 were IMG's...I think a lot of the AMG's give it during that time period...
