What we hold
The Match results land each year as a 19-page PDF that cannot be sorted or searched. We took all of it apart, twice, so this page can tell you in one tap that Connecticut fills 54.3% of its IM seats with international graduates while California fills 9.5%.
Then we build the part that has never existed as data: what each program requires of international graduates, in five fields, each with its sentence, its link, and the date we read it.
Anyone can tell you they checked. We show you where to look.
Free, and live now
Most people build their program list in a spreadsheet, then spend October re-reading the same twelve websites because they cannot remember which one said what. This is that spreadsheet, with the reading already done and every answer carrying the sentence it came from.
Add the programs you are considering. Search all 702 by name, city or state, or paste a column of ACGME codes straight out of your spreadsheet.
See what we have read. For each one: what it published about visas, Step scores, years since graduation, ECFMG and US clinical experience, in the program's own words, with the link and the date we read it. Where a program has published nothing, it says not published, which is not the same as no requirement, and we never let the two blur.
Track the season. Applied, invited, interviewed, ranked, withdrawn. Interview dates. Your own private notes, which is what you will actually be reading in February when you have ten interviews and no memory of any of them.
Then in March, tell us what happened. One screen, three questions. That answer is the reason the rest of this is free.
Sign in with Google, or with a six digit code we email you. Free for the whole 2027 cycle, and your list is waiting when you come back.
Tracker's versions
One place for every program you apply to, from August to Match Day.
We check your list against what programs publish, then show you the ones you never found.
Every fact carries its receipt
Calder Valley University Hospital example
Pennsylvania
Applicants must have graduated from medical school within the past five years.
Read 14 August 2026 · the program’s own applicant page
The same page says applicants with high scores and a year of US training "have been the most successful in our program." That is a preference, not a rule, and we do not record it as one. A five-year limit ends your application before anyone reads it. A preference cannot. Knowing which is which is the entire job.
Why the name is invented. We hold 1,386 requirements read from 641 programs, every one of them carrying the program's own sentence, its link, and the date we read it. 730 come from the program's own page rather than a directory. Which hospital goes with which sentence is the thing you are buying, so it is the one part of this we do not put on a public page.
A sample
Three rows from a checked list, for someone who needs a J-1, graduated in 2019 and has one failed attempt. The programs are invented. The shape, the quote, the link and the date are exactly what you get, and which real hospital sits on which row is the part you are paying for.

IMG share is the share of residents who trained outside the US. It counts US citizens who studied abroad, so it is not a measure of visa friendliness: of the 25 programs with the highest share, 11 sponsor no visa at all. Your report carries the date every fact was read this cycle.

FAQ
We tell you which programs have published something that rules you out, and we show you their words. Then we show you programs that can consider you and that you had not found. What you do with that is yours.
Not yet. We hold no outcome data today, so any percentage would be invented. As outcome data accumulates, predictions will become available in a future version.
Then we do it by email or WhatsApp and grant your access by hand. Cards from several countries our users live in get declined, and that is not a reason to lose the people who need this most.
All of them. We have read 641 of the 702 Internal Medicine programs, in every state. New York, Florida, California, Texas and Pennsylvania are the most complete, and they are where most non-US citizen IMGs matched last year. The page tells you which programs are still unread before you pay, not after.
No. We are independent of all of them and of every residency program. We quote public pages and we say when we read them.
Who is behind this
The MatchLens is built by Joseph, after watching friends spend thousands of dollars applying to programs whose own pages said they could not consider them. There is no advisory upsell and no course to sell you. The product is the receipts: what programs publish, quoted, linked and dated. Every fact on this site can be checked against its source, including the ones about us.
