Hey guys,

Just had a quick question to which I hope your input will be helpful. When a US med school applicant submits their application through ERAS, would you recommend they graduate on time and apply as a "post-grad" applicant or delay graduation for another semester and apply as a "current student"? Or is there not much of a difference either way in the eyes of residency program directors?

Thanks in advanced.

A US med school applicant applies during their 4th year, prior to graduation, thus a current student. If you are off cycle somehow, arranging to still be a student when applying would be ideal.
