I started filling this thing out.. glad I clicked on the link.. it's annoyingly tedious and looks to be lengthy.. not really looking to hit the 15th deadline, but at least it can be mostly doneish...

It's not very long, especially if you have very few ECs or research like I did, lol. I filled it out in probably 2 hrs. Also, submit as soon as its done, even if you don't have LORs or level 2/step 2 scores. Places will invite you for interviews without those items. It's not like the medical school application proces where your application needs to be complete before they review it. I know someone who submited their eras application on day 1 that included their ECs, research, personal statement, grades, and 1 LOR. They didn't release any board scores at that time and they still got 3-4 anesthesia interviews without any board scores.

Do you have to notify your school to upload your transcript or is it automatic?

My school uploaded them automatically and they also uploaded my letters as soon as they got them. Your school may be different, but I doubt it.
