USMLE transcript

[Yui]

Hey guys,
I have a quick question regarding our USMLE transcript in ERAS. When do our scores actually get transmitted to programs? So I authorized it today, but probably won't assign programs for another month or so, and then of course eras won't be submitted until 9/15. When the programs download our applications after 9/15, will they see all the scores available up to 9/15, or only the scores that are out when I authorized it, or only the scores that are out when I assigned them to programs?

If you submit your application on the submission date (9/15). They will see the scores when it is transmitted, which would be on 9/15.

Bumping. When do we have to pay for transcripts? I'm assuming that's also 9/15?

So is this how USMLE transcript works?

1. Authorize release of USMLE transcript
2. Assign USMLE transcript to schools
3. Apply to programs on Sept 15
4. Scores will automatically be transmitted to applied programs on or after September 15

Appreciate any help! Thanks.

Yes. Although you forgot "Pay ridiculous fee to USMLE for doing almost nothing to send score electronically to ERAS". But you're unlikely to forget that step.

When do we pay that fee? When we certify and submit or is the transcript not officially uploaded until we pay the fee?

Have a quick question in regards to the usmle transcript. Authorized the release when I had already gotten Step1 and Step2CK back. I have since gotten CS back. Do I need to do anything to get the CS score to be added to the transcript?(or will it be included anyway) Looked this AM for a way to "reauthorize" the transcript, but couldn't find anything. Thanks.

Nope. Your transcript will be transmitted on 9/15 as it is. If all 3 results are there, you're good. If the result comes back later, you need to re-release.

When you apply, it will automatically be included. You cannot "forget" to pay it.

If you're a DO and have already applied to programs, then I believe you will need to "retransmit" your USMLE scores. There is no additional fee for doing so, and there should be a "retransmit" button in MyERAS to do so. If you're only applying to Allo programs, then gutonc is correct.

by re-release do you mean that the entire application must be re-certified?

No. There's a single button to resubmit the USMLE transcript.

How long does it take for your transcript to be updated? I got my step 2 score back today and just hit the resend my scores button on eras

 

[p1ggy]

Nevermind -- mine was updated when I checked 1 hour after submitting my request
So pretty fast!

 

[maddogmurphy]

Somewhat related question, but is it important/necessary to update with step 2 score? Both my step 1 and step 2 were pretty average/few points below average. Also DO student for IM

If you decide to apply to more programs after you initially submit, will the the USMLE Transcript that the additional programs get have updated USMLE scores. Example Step2 scores came out on 9/16 which were not on my initial submission, but will these new schools I apply to see Step 2 scores or only the scores on my initial transcript from 9/15. Thanks

 

[NotAProgDirector]

New programs will get your new transcript, I believe.

Thank you, will the old programs get updated transcripts or just have old ones?

 

[NotAProgDirector]

You can re-transmit your USMLE transcript for free at any time to old programs.

I believe that any programs you apply to will get the original USMLE transcript you requested unless you choose to resubmit a new one.
