Anybody else only have about 60% of their programs download their application? I applied on 9/5. Have the people that applied on 9/1 gotten their applications downloaded by most of the programs? What are these other programs waiting on? Sorry, paranoia is setting in...

I'm in the same boat & I applied before you...

I applied on the 1st and ~80% of my apps are downloaded. My recs aren't all in though.

I'm currently playing a 'game' right now with my rec writers. It's called "yeah, I faxed it last week..." meanwhile my school's eras office hasn't seen squat come through...I hate this. 😡

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm told that programs can't screen the contents of your application (e.g, USMLE scores, CAF) w/o downloading them first. Also, many programs will not download applications until ~ mid Nov when ASTRO is over and the Dean's letters are in.

You did right and applied early, now all you can do is sit back, relax, and wait.
