I think amfas is right. There are quite few positions for IMG. Also many AMG think pathology is not lucrative enough (they might be wrong though!). You don't believe all the horror stories ppl tell. So I don't think it is supercompetitive. Obviously it's not EASY to get in but it's a fair game. Remember that pathology is a little different occupation....ie no patient contact. For this reason a lot of ppl tend not to like pathology that much. Therefore there are less applicants.

Ok. I just applied to 23 univ programs. I thought of doing 10, but then got tempted to check my application strength! My application is incomplete though. Only CAF, transcripts, photo and 1 LOR is in the post office. ECFMG is taking forever to scan documents off late. Hopefully the other documents will be there soon. Let us all keep each other updated on the IV calls. Good luck everyone, esp SHarp (where are you?)

My statistics were based on the survey of 2008. But it might not be accurate because I never thought about scramble and prematch part. Yes I also heard even several top-notch programs gave prematch to IMGs. I really wish what amfas said is right, so that I will have more hope.
Mdphd, thank you so much for your pray. I am looking forward to hearing the first IV news from you in this forum.
