hi, Im a lost 4th year in the process of doing my ERAS application and I dont understand how if I send part of my application to my choosen programs now and later I add LOR'S or my Step 2 scores how would it get added to my application once they already got it and looked at it. ALso what if they look at my partial application and deicde that their not intrested without me having chance to send in my step 2 scores and more LOR's...please help explain 🙂
Once you submit your CAF and apply to programs, you'll see that you're still able to modify the "Documents" section of ERAS however you want. To add new documents or take away those that haven't been downloaded, under the "programs" tab, you go to "Programs applied to" and check/uncheck the respective boxes and resubmit. You wont need to pay any more fees regarding those. About retransmitting step 2 scores, I'm not completely sure how that works. There is a way, I just don't know exactly which section that's under.And to check whether progs have received documents, you use ADTS, which you can access either prior to logging in to ERAS (it's one of the other tabs), or within ERAS under "check status of submitted apps" or something like that. You can only access ADTS if you've already submitted your CAF to programs.
Regarding your last concern. . .I have no idea. . .I have that same question myself. I would have thought that programs wouldn't reject anyone before Nov 1st when the dean's letter comes out, just so all the applicants are on equal footing, however I've heard of people already getting rejections.
😱 So there goes that hypothesis.
🙄 Perhaps if an applicant has a credential that the program knows it doesn't want no matter what the rest of the package is like (e.g. IMG, extremely low step 1, something very concerning mentioned in an LOR)? Although I still think progs should still give people a chance to redeem themselves. Anyway, who knows. . .I'm just guessing here. . .
