On ERAS, can you just "apply" to the programs right now while you filll out the rest of the application?
For example, I have 2 of 4 LORs loaded, picture, and scores, however have not officially submitted my personal statement nor certified my application. Can I just pick the 2 LORs, picture and score and apply to programs and then choose 2 more LORs and certify my application later? Since programs start interviewing in Sept/Oct, is it possible to get another letter from a rotation say in August...or will this be too late and should I just use one that is already uploaded now?
Also, is there a "transcript" section that the school releases on a later date or do we have to request this at our school....is there a place to check?
Last question....I have 2 LORs from 2 attendings at 1 program, and another LOR from a private group (non residency - that I worked exclusively with for many months during rotations during free time)...would it be better to submit the 2 from the same program or 1 from each (strength of LORs: private > attending 1 > attending 2)
