I'm assuming "U.S. grads" means both MD and DO, yes?

2013: 221 of 256 U.S. grads matched (86.3%); 37.1% matched at first choice, 10.6% at >3rd choice
2014: 256 of 302 U.S. grads matched (84.7%); 35.9% matched at first choice, 10% at >3rd choice
2015: 257 of 302 U.S. grads matched (85.1%); 35.4% matched at first choice, 13% at >3rd choice
2016: 272 of 296 U.S. grads matched (91.9%); 46.3% matched at first choice, 8.9% at >3rd choice

those numbers paint a very different picture than I would've expected

Nope. US Grad means (and always has meant) graduates of US MD schools.

Wow seems like there were almost 100 less applicants that applied to pulm in 2016 compared to 2015. Anybody have thoughts why the sudden drop?

This is pretty reassuring. For some reason I thought these numbers would be lower.
