Hello All,

Got some questions and would appreciate your help.

I am planning to apply for the 2011 match, but will take Step 2 CS exam in September, and thus my ECFMG certification will not be complete until I pass the CS exam.

On my ERAS application, should I say YES or NO for the question that asks "Are you ECFMG certified?"

Another question: If you click the "couple's match" option now, does that lock you into the couple's match when we submit the Rank Order List in February or can we change our mind later?

Thanks for your help!

your ecfmg certification will NOT be complete even if you have taken CS and passed. To be certified means you have the ecfmg certificate and have graduated medical school.
so on ERAS, click NO.
