While the match rate for visa seeking IMGs is similar, the NRMP data shows the probability of matching being significantly higher for US IMGs than the visa seeking IMGs. The average matched applicant scores are lower and For some specialities, the probability of matching is as much as 20-25% points higher for US-IMGs than non US IMGs for the same scores. Eg. IM data shows matching probability for US IMG with a low 230s almost 80% while the number is less than 60% for non US IMGs with the same score. Does that not make that part of the video very very inaccurate?
