Thread: Looking for the SGU Stickies (FAQ)?

If you're looking for the familiar "stickies" (i.e. FAQ) that were previously located at the top of the SGU forum, they have been moved to the newly created "St. George's FAQ (Sticky) Forum" for organizational purposes. Thanks to those who made the suggestion .

Former SGU medical student. Info on success rates on getting into residency. Based on 2009 match. 30,0000 applicates with approx. 24K making it. There were 3,390 U.S.-citizen international medical graduates (IMG), with 47.8 percent matching to first-year positions. For the 7,484 non-U.S.-citizen IMGs who participated in this year's Match, the match rate was 41.6 percent. Despite the declining match rates for IMGs, more obtained first-year positions this year than last.
You need to understand these numbers. I have many friends who did well at SGU and on the Step 1 exam but havent found a residency program. You can only push off those medical loans so long. $200K is quite a burden to have with no residency.

Thanks for the reorganization

It's an important thread that is locked to the top of a forum page, so that it doesn't get buried in later pages of threads.
