Match rate this year is going to be low...
You can generally cut out 100+ off that number for DOs and IMGs.
I don’t want to be a bummer for my DO/IMG bros out there but the match rate for US seniors (of which there are generally mid-200s applicants) is much different.
2018 Stats
225 positions
310 applicants: 235 US Seniors (89% matched), 11 US IMG (0% Matched), 32 Non-US IMg (31% Matched).
IDK what happened with those 33 that were not included (235 + 11 + 32 = 277)
These FMGs should stop feeling so entitled...

Yeah, just look at them, taking away all the residency spots shamelessly.
Anyone have any idea how Couples Matching affects statistics for number of interviews offered? My significant other and I have tried emailing programs and have gotten ZERO results after dozens of emails. Not sure it is doing anything. Do couples matching applicants get less interviews?

The person with the lower scores drags down the other

Are you both couples matching into neurosurg? And did you list it on your application that you were couples matching?
No, I am going into Neurosurgery, she is going into primary care. both with step score >250. IDK, just really pictured more of a "flood" of interviews based on my conversations with applicants from previous years.

I do understand the frustration. I am with you, but they deserve some credit as well though IMO. I am from a top 20% program, and IMG researchers applying from our institution have 250+, 30+ pubs, 50+ presentations, over three years of research experience plus five years of clinical experience. Still they are trying to contribute to our country. Personally I don’t think I could become a better neurosurgeon than them, given their work ethic, personality, and diverse life experience. I just respect them. Just putting this out there. Not directed to anyone.

Some have also already completed residency in their home country, and so have a ton to teach.
I’d feel lucky to have an IMG in my program and/or class.

To your point, my institution's IMG has been teaching our residents and medical students and already helped several medical students match into neurosurgery publication-wise, presentation-wise, and skill-wise. I think they deserve it too IF that is what they want.
