Hi all ! I applied last year for electives in several places and managed to get three electives in University Hospitals from August - October. I am graduating in June this year from med school (usually we are issued diplomas only in December or January every year). I really want to do these electives because my step 1 scores are pretty low and I already paid a lot for the applications and I booked my tickets. I really want to get good LORs. Now the question is, should I continue doing the electives in spite of receiving the diploma or should I cancel the electives because it might cause some problems in the future when I'm applying for the ERAS?
I would appreciate your help guys and thank you in advance.
