Started by GeneGoddess
Were your applications complete or were LORs, etc. still missing?

I had my CAF, transcript, PS, Step 1, and either 1 or 2 letters (3 as of yesterday).
Way to go!! My question is...My ERAS is completed, but I have only identified 2 letter writers for certain and neither letter has been turned in yet. Do you think I can still submit my application? My personal statement, step one scores, etc. are complete. HELP!!!
😕
Did you receive your invite by email or mail? Did a copy go to your ERAS mailbox? I'm just curious because I've been worried about emails not arriving as I have had some problems with my email the last couple of days.

OK, first; hokiedoc2005, do not wait for LORs to submit your application. The programs will look at your application without them. Besides, I think LORs are kinda overrated.
As for how I was notified (as if I am an expert in this, I only have one interview invite); they notified me via e-mail, which was delivered to my junk e-mail box of my hotmail account (watch out for that one!), AND via the message service of ERAS.

Anybody getting interviews willing to post their board scores?

I got ANOTHER one today! Thomas Jefferson / DuPont Children's! YEAH!!!
I got a 219 on Step 1 in 1998 (which was about 65th percentile then, as if it really matters). Both invites were via email AND were also posted in the message section of ERAS.
And thanks, Evo! Good luck at your defense! Set a date yet?
I'll know by Monday. 🙂GeneGoddess said:

WOW! Another one! University of Maryland in Baltimore!!!
You're such a stud-ette. 🙂GeneGoddess said:

COOL! I applied to Duke, too. I sure hope I hear from them...
#3 - Baylor
Great Job! I have a feeling they are really going to start pouring in now. The later they wait, the less probability we are going to go to their interviews because we cannot be in two places at once (at least not yet). I guess we could cancel others, but we would REALLY have to like the place.
#5!!! Georgetown!!!
Thanks for the recommendation to send in my application incomplete kas23, I sent my application in today and got my first invite for an interview literally hours later from Children's Medical Center of Akron (OH)....only 15 left to go!!!!! 😀
Congrats to all who have been getting invites! And in response to an email concerning board scores, etc....
I got a 217 on Step one and have plans to take Step II in November (in hopes of doing better!)

I added some programs last night - got an offer this am! U of MO, KC.
I applied to a lot of programs, honestly I'm thinking maybe too many, but I've gotten interviews so far from
UVA
Georgetown
Wake Forest
Florida - Jacksonville
Florida - Gainesville
Baylor
UT Houston
UTMB
UT Dallas
Are yall scheduling them right away as you get them or waiting to see if you get others you would prefer or that are in the same area, etc? Any recommendations?
Thanks
A very confused 4th year 🙂

I'm just scheduling them as they come and I hope it all works out in the end!
Yeeeeash. I must be applying to the wrong places. My only interview offer thus far is from my home program, which interviews all in-house applicants.
Two programs (Stanford and UCLA) haven't even DOWNLOADED my application yet. Anybody else having this problem? It's been "Available-ready for download" for over two weeks now!
Anybody heard from Seattle, Denver or California programs yet?

Stanford downloaded mine early last week. UCSF and Denver and UCSD downloaded my stuff fairly quickly. But I haven't heard anything from any of the four of them (my only "west coast" programs).

Thanks for the response, GeneGoddess.
Out of curiousity, was your transcript available when Stanford downloaded your app last week? I have a theory that the lack of a transcript in my file is holding me up...
<sigh> Sure wish my school would get it together... 🙄

My transcript was available about two days after I "ordered" it (late August). I guess my school uploads everything the second they get it. I have everything already uploaded except two letters of rec (one from the Pedi Chair, who is "working on it" and a "fourth" letter from my current attending). So if a transcript is holding up your interview, I'm totally screwed! 🙂
I applied to 25 programs - mainly in the east. All but 3 programs have downloaded my application, lor, ps, usmle transcript. I applied to one in california and haven't heard anything yet. My school won't send our med school transcripts till Nov 1st, along with the Dean's Letter. So I don't think it matters that much, I already have 4 interviews and my application wasn't "complete" until this past wednesday.
One school said they wouldn't offer interviews without my transcript so I had to contact my school and explain the situation to have them hurry up and post it because they were having computer difficulties. So it is possible that could be hurting you at some schools but not all.
They sent me an email saying so. FYI it was Baylor and I received an interview offer soon after my transcript was uploaded.
#2 Medical College of Georgia
PS..I have been having problems with my email....Is everyone receiving your invites via the message center or are there some places that send directly to your email account?? If so could you give me the names of those programs, I don't want to miss an invite
