What anonymous posters said

Can anyone explain how the regional match statistics from the NRMP indicate 4 filled spots in the Northeast for Med/Derm? Doesn't jibe with the numbers on the spreadsheet (should only be 2 if Penn and Harvard only had 1 spot each)

Georgetown has 2!

I guess Georgetown must be considered in the NE even though the map doesn't seem like it

I have seen IMGs matched before but usually they are from top schools like European schools, Aga Khan, or Sackler (going to a NY school) and they usually have done research fellowships. it's not surprising at all (given they did research fellowships). If they got in without one, that would be surprising

To be fair, one was a research fellow for 2 years, so will effectively have completed 3 years. Don't know about GWU though, but isn't that like a new program?

Downstate has accepted IMG's in the past, so I'm not surprised
