Can we update our ERAS application prior to submitting for the 2010 scramble? Thanks...
Unfortunately you cannot do that. You can only submit new LOR's the rest of the applications remains the same. If a program want to vet you during the scramble they can ask you to email/fax them your updated CV.
That completely sucks!
Some people apply to no programs with the sole intent of scrambling into an unfilled spot; I have a friend who's a Caribbean grad who doing just that for Peds (didn't interview a single place, just wants to scramble come March 16). Seems like a stressful way of doing it, but to each her own.
Theoretically you could submit a list filled with programs you never applied to or interviewed at.Don't you have to certify a ROL in order to get the scramble list?

I don't get it...why would you want to take left-overs? Why not actually apply and interview like normal people...?
She feels that she wouldn't be competitive and it's just a waste of time.
For Peds?!?!?! And if you're not even remotely enough competitive to get a single interview, why would you feel confident that you could scramble over more competitive people who did receive interviews?
Only people who have never experienced the scamble would suggest that it's a good way to go. All the rules will change next year, but as the scramble stands it's not a good primary plan. It has to be the most awful, stressful experience ever.
