To THE ONE and others,is there some discrimination at some of the test centres in terms of IMG pass rates?\r\nI have read in the forums that the Philadelphia centre is not all that safe in terms of passing IMGs.Which is a better centre to take,thank you.

Re: To THE ONE:CS centres and IMG pass rate InSitu - 08-31-08 23:28 there has been rumors for such discrimination but we doubt it. The actors at that center are more experienced and they may evaluate you differently. Anyone please add

Re: To THE ONE:CS centres and IMG pass r sackatdoc - 09-01-08 04:47 totally agree with InSitu,these are just rumors and has nothing to do with facts, stay calm and prepared, coz without these two things any center at any given date can turn out to be a nightmare.Good luck.

Re: To THE ONE:CS centres and IMG pass r mohhaider - 09-18-08 08:35 I asked this question before and the same answer I got from all.All centers are the same and very professional .I heard a rumor that PA is not so friendly but if you try to find available sites ,you will find it the most busy center.

Re: To THE ONE:CS centres and IMG pass r neanne - 09-18-08 14:26 Ok, Ok I didn't mean I am going to fail...Just the experience was very positive and I don't regret going there...No more CS drama. What is done is done...I wanted to mean like the comments about a rotation in a particular hospital, when american medical graduates say" I would reapply there". That's all.
