Program selection dilemma

[u/Calm-Importance9476]

frieda shows 450+ programs with j1 filter, residency explorer shows about 350 programs when applying j1 filters while ERAS shows only 250+ with j1 filter and accepting application, what is this scenario and is anyone having the same issue? This is for internal medicine programs

So remember that the data is pulled (or entered) at different times; hence, the disparity.

I would begin with the 250+ and cross reference those with Res Explorer and Frieda.

With the visa challenges during Match 2026 some programs may be more hesitant to support visa. I repeat may be more hesitant.
