well, the time is upon us. How's everyone feeling about the whole situation? Trying to get organized for another round of eras
few questions:
1) if a program's website says it needs 3 letters of rec, is it okay to send 4?
2) if a program doesn't mention they need my mspe letter, should i send it just to be safe?
3) same with usmle scores. should i send anyway if they don't mention it?
(eg: ucsf says they do not require mspe, med school tx, and usmle tx - would you send them anyway?)
a lot of the websites seem out-of-date.
thanks!
A problem that I am facing right now with ERAS is how to mention abstracts that are submitted to a meeting but not accepted yet. Also adding research projects that I am working on but they are not finished yet..
Thanks Guys
But the problem is mentioning research projects that I am currently working on which are not presented anywhere or submitted for a publication!
I started my application late and have just asked for LOR. I want to know if it is advisable to apply before the LORs are uploaded or should I wait for it.
Anyone know if there is a disadvantage to sending in an app without all the LoRs?? Been waiting for the EFDO to upload my last LoR and transcript but they're taking a lifetime...
DUKE UNIVERSITYGuys..there are programs which require a separate payment by a pay check directly to the program in addition to ERAS application like Rush and VCU. Anybody knows other programs that do the same?
any interviews/rejections yet
You poor thing. You'll need to be way more patient. For the most part candidates won't hear much until January/February. The flood usually starts around mid-January.

Baylor College of Medicine Program 1414821106
This is the main BCM program
Baylor College of Medicine/St Luke's Episcopal Hospital Program 1414821120
This is the THI program
Baylor University Medical Center Program 1414831176
This is not a BCM program. Its another university located in Dallas.
Hope it helps.
Vanderbilt and Cincinnati cardiology fellowship programs have not yet downloaded my application. (The Vanderbilt website says they wait until the first week of January.) Has anyone else had theirs downloaded by either of these two programs?
Same here...U AZ are the only one send gifts out there (love-rejection-letters) prior to Christmas..Starting the season with a bang! Love letter aka rejection U of Arizona, I guess nights in night float are feeling worse.... I am sure better days are coming soon...
Didn't bother to apply as they clearly mention that their ideal candidates are the ones from university program (http://www.pauleyheart.vcu.edu/docs/2009Applicant Info1.pdf), which I am not.Also because I can't afford the additional 50 bucks they require to process the application.I got am email from VCU to send my permanent residency card? Did anybody else got the same?
Thanks
Although it is a little late. Northwestern wants all residents on visa to email or fax them their visa copy. The deadline was dec 15th.
If you have received request for any additional paperwork or you know of extra paperwork that needs to be submitted outside ERAS, please share with us. thanks
I am on J1 Visa too, I got the email from VCU asking for a copy of my visa(I don't know what they wanna do with it ) .
I guess their plan is like this: either an acceptance into the fellowship program or.....Deportation outside the country..
I haven't got any notice from Northwestern ,can we send it next week ?
Go to their website. it has the email address where you can send it. Its a little late though.
good luck
