Average matched individual has 12 interviews, average unmatched has 4. This number is biased by the ~120 IMGs who apply and get low numbers of interviews. 60 IMGs get 0 interviews per the SFM data.
Probably not mentioned because this is illegal! Racism, sexism, etc is unacceptable and if this is going on explicitly as you mentioned should be reported. That said I’m certain it continues to happen to the detriment of medicine.One thing not mentioned by many who ask others to evaluate their credentials is their appearance, race, ethnic background, gender. It makes a big difference. I was privy to a chairman who got so excited about an attractive female applicant and wanted to rank her #1. She was eventually ranked so that she would have been accepted had she ranked the program higher. The applicant's credentials were decent but not perfection.
it too critically? It was a race for last place, ha
That is a recipe for ending your career in ophthalmology before you finish residency. The ACGME makes it a point of not helping the resident if the resident is fired in retaliation. The ACGME is only concerned that there is a process in place, even if it is a show trial.Probably not mentioned because this is illegal!
