HI,

If you are a DO applying to allopathic residencies through ERAS, is it mandatory to submit COMLEX scores if you have USMLE part I? I ask because to submit COMLEX is another 50 bucks, and I imagine that allopathic PDs would prefer to see USMLE anyway.

Another question:

If you are also applying to Osteopathic residencies, can you just photocopy your COMLEX score report or do you have to pay for original transcripts to be sent?

thanks.
