Wednesday is Only Two Days Away, Which Means the ERAS Open Date is Fast Approaching

Residency applicants, this is a reminder that this Wednesday, October 21 at 9am EST is when programs can begin reviewing applications. ERASes submitted today through Wednesday will still display an application date of October 21 so ensure your ERAS experience section and personal statement are in tip top shape and then, simply submit by Wednesday. (Applications submitted after that day will be date-stamped in real-time.) For help, check out "15 ERAS Tips to Boost Your Residency Application" and "5 ERAS Platform Quirks to Heed." Then get your ERAS in and take a well-deserved break.
