Internal Medicine:

6297 positions (4622 categorical and 1675 prelim)
94.3% filled on initial match (5938)
Successful applicants: 62.3% US Seniors (3700), 29.4% IMG (1746), 5.6% DO (333)
% of US seniors unmatched who only ranked Internal Medicine positions: 1.6%

^ im personally looking into internal medicine and IMG’s dont look to bad in here.

You showed us how many US seniors applied out of the applicants but not how many of the rest are DO’s and IMG’s, so how do we know that a large chunk of the rejects arent DO’s. It could be so that a lot of DO’s applied and didnt get in and they are making the IMG’s look bad. Yes, i understand that the U.S seniors have the best chances, but perhaps the IMG’s arent as bad as the statics you’ve posted so far have shown. Thanks btw for the info.
