Residency Applicants Have a Looming Date Ahead

Here's a quick reminder for residency candidates: Programs can start reviewing ERAS applications and MSPEs at 9 am EST on September 24.

There is an advantage to submitting your ERAS so that it's in the first batch program directors (PD) see. As one of my PD friends wrote to me, since the residency application is arguably one of the biggest steps in one's medical career, getting the application in as early as possible should be a given.

On the other hand, if your application is not in its optimal form, waiting a few days is preferable to submitting an inferior ERAS that will be tossed into the "do not invite" pile.
