I took that to mean that it was just for research! I think I read that in the big guide PDF also
3 LORs
Torn on this. None I'm applying to say 4. In addition, a few say "yo you can use a chair letter but it is not required" but my chair letter is going to be so generic and weak, compared to my 3 presumably strong letters I also have.
The 24th is fine for the general eras app. We had an extensive discussion about this a few pages ago. However, the supplemental app should be submitted by the 19th bc it won’t get released until October 6th if you submit after that
9/24 is fine. You don't need to submit by 9/21. Just don't submit 9/27 or 9/28 if you can avoid it. The report from previous years is that the site crashes a lot with the uptick in traffic, so best to avoid the last couple of days before the deadline. But I don't think 9/24 will be an issue.
Me: "It's fine, it's submitted, I'm sure it will be fine."
I'm over here like "what if I accidentally clicked 'no, don't share my responses with programs'". RIP.
That is one topic wherein I'm throwing all common sense to the wind and having fun with it.
correct from my understanding
Yes. ERAS considered including this but they felt it wasn't ready yet, so they wanted to test it out. I'm not really certain how collecting the data actually tests anything -- although I guess they could give it to us after the season is over and ask how it would have affected our choices? Still, hard to know how that would be interpreted. At a minimum they can look to see the spread in selections.
I just bought a ring light off Amazon and used my MacBook camera and AirPods. Had no problems.
My goal is to be ready to submit the 21/22 and then submit the 24th. totally planning on my school to screw me over by not uploading Dean's letters and transcripts on time
Plan is 24th to avoid traffic the next week!
Lol WHAT?? Why. Wtf
My plan is to submit on Wednesday the 22nd since a week will hopefully be plenty of time for any glitches to be sorted out. My school says our transcripts and MSPE will be uploaded before the 29th but who knows if that'll actually happen. Over the past 3 years, I've learned to expect the worst and hope to be pleasantly surprised.
Thats insane! who knows rowan will probably do the same
They say they aren’t allowed to do it beforehand
does 9/27 srsly start crashing? isn't the app due 9/29? has this been verified that it really does crash 1-2 days in advance? do you mean just slow in general, or actually crashing and unable to access the eras portal?
All the above, kinda like how VSAS was crashing when apps when out. They just can’t take 20k people applying at once
haha! vsas lmao what a joke that was. useless
Who the F knows
Already submitted
Would you chance it?
I mean I’m not planning on it. But also could see myself camping out in front of my computer mashing refresh too lol
That’s exactly how I got a PS5 👍🏽
Works half the time 100% of the time
Is it easier to walk around with your wallet being that much lighter?
It’s like the satisfaction of an empty space after spring cleaning.
I mean as long your interviewer(s) can see and hear you, there should be no problem. Everything else is just extra IMO lol.
This is what I've heard too. And also that they sometimes prefer just natural light/background
In general I would list it just once, as a poster. You submitted it for peer review once.
In general, no. If it was a required part of your school, then definitely not. If it hasn't been peer reviewed, it's not going to carry much weight, anyway.
There are less spots on the supplemental -- so you get to pick "up to 5" to focus on. You could list less than 5.
Sure, you probably could. But why? Is your app really going to be any better a week later?
I believe The supplemental app needs to be submitted by Sept 19th if you want programs to be able to see it on October 1 otherwise if you submit it later programs won’t be able to see it until mid October So it makes a big difference if you submit today
Not mid October, but October 6 which is only a 6-7 day discrepancy.
