i advice against obtaining such lists by paying them. i have seen one such paid list and the info on that was not reliable. (didnt even match with frieda info!)
i dont mean to speak against any company but I feel talking to people who applied last year is the best way to know where to apply. talk to as many as u can. even if they are your friend's friend's friend's uncle's friend's neighbours!

I've bought Match a resident list, It seems to be good and reliable but I can't be 100% sure till I really use it. someone else who has gone through the match process can guide us better regarding this.

From all that i have read on the forum, some of these lists are fine and have accurate info but they dont have anything that you cant find yourself for free on freida.. And even after you buy these lists, you'll still have to do a bit of research to shortlist the programs that suit you the best..
So, buy one of these if you're really short of time.. else, just stop being lazy and do your work yourself..!

it is not absolutely 100% on the target but at least maybe 85-90%..the thing is you still need to do your home work.. email first each program then if no reply call them and compare the information from the list you have& then apply selectively according to your suitability..if you do not want to buy just email them first& call them if you need to..
