There's no doubt that individuals can succeed (whether at SGU or European schools), the question is how does the program rate overall.

answer
well it did not seem to pose that much of a problem to me..all that really mattered to them is board scores..as for licensure, it varies state to state..NY state which is the only state i am interested in, only requires submission of FINAL medical school transcripts just like ECFMG does...as for neurology, it is more competitive that you think it is..first of all, the IMG's that have been attaining it for the last 2 years have been consistenly scoring over 95 on USMLE step 1..are you a resident Miklos?..neuro and gas are both more competive than they were 2 years ago..i am not embarrased at my transferring so many times as it only opened more doors for me and placed me where i am today..where i dreamed i would be 6 years ago when i started..i also could care less about california..too far away from home for me..i do however stand corrected on the optho thing..one of my friends who just graduated this past year from SGU told me this..he was wrong..
as for justifying anything..i am one of the very few that does not have to worry about it due to the number of connections i have accumulated during clinicals and externships..licensing in NY State is not that big of a deal anyways..i know all the rules inside out..take care..

Re: Neuro, the SF Match (which does matching for all but 40 or so odd PGY1 positions through the NRMP) does not (to my knowledge) release statistics like the NRMP. It is possible that it has gotten more competitive and that the FREIDA stats lag. However, I doubt that they've got average scores of 95. Re: Anes. We have statistics from the NRMP. See http://www.nrmp.org/2005advdata.pdf (page 4) For both PGY1 (around 70% US grads) & PGY2 (around 72% US grads) spots, they look to be roughly the same as far as competitiveness goes for the last four years (since 2001) if we simply take US grads versus non-US grads (including all the applicants, but principally made up of IMGs; DOs, 5th Pathway, Canadian and past US grads are also represented.)

Why so ?
Correct me if I am wrong. But, I've noticed on the NRMP statistics that during years 01-05 that all of the available residence position have not been filled up.
Looking at these data, why should an IMG really worry about getting a resdience position? Wouldn't they be able to qualify for one or the other residence position as long as they have a decent USMLE 1 score? (80-95) Or would the Residence Directors have their residence position open rather than taking an IMG for that respective spot ? Any response would be helpful. If I were a residence director, I would take a decent IMG as long as I see he/she has a potential to be a doctor and will be able to succeed instead of leaving those position unfilled with no one benefiting the learning experience of residence.......

First, there are unmatched US Seniors, who compete for them, in addition to unmatched DOs, unmatched past US grads, unmatched Fifth Pathway grads, and finally (the largest group) unmatched IMGs (both US citizens and foreigners). See the thread I referenced above for the best explanation I can provide using publicly available data. Miklos

The ECFMG will not release a breakdown of IMG scores either by school or country.
