I recently checked myeras update and noticed that all the programs that I had/will interview at have all updated my ck/cs score with the exception of my "1 program choice...ok, stupid question but does this mean that this program is no longer interested in me after my interview? I have been really busy with interviews and a very heavy rotation so have not written a thank you letter --its been two weeks. I will get to that thank you card tonight but am I just being paranoid about the program not updating my latest score because they are no longer interested in me?

You can relax. The program in question just hasn't contacted the ERAS post office in a while--so they haven't downloaded anyone's updated info, not just yours. At this point, I'm only accessing the post office about once per week, if that.

If it makes you feel better, send an email to the PC thanking him/her for their role in your positive interview experience and letting him/her know that you have updated scores available to download.

Thanks mcl for putting my mind at ease. So you don't think 2.5 weeks is really late to send a thank you letter?

Not at all--especially with the holidays.

Since this thread, I did went ahead and emailed to the PC but I am still reading "available but not yet retrieved" Could this mean that they have made up their rank list?

If they haven't downloaded your information, they haven't downloaded anything from the ERAS post office--so it can't be an indication of interest (or lack thereof) in you as an applicant. It's late enough in the game that the program may have completed its rank order list, but that certainly doesn't mean you aren't on it. Post interview there are a lot of factors that are more important than ck/cs scores.

Rank programs in the order of your preference, and you will match at the program that most wants you. 🙂
