  Dear colleagues,
I have had just one interview and though it went on well, dont know what is going to happen. i would like to try for the scramble. i have few questions and i hope somebody can help me.
if i am right i need to get my cv, lors, deans letter, ecfmg certificate ready for faxing and emailing on scramble day right, are there any others i have missed out.
does that mean i have to print my cv from the eras website now itself, or i have to make a new cv?
do i have to have my usmle transcripts as well ready for faxing and emailing?
how is the service find a resident.com which is advertised on the nrmp website any ideas?
any help or advice would be appreciated
gmh

  Make a pdf file containing everything, then email to programs. On scramble day, faxes and phones won't go through most of the time. That's what my brother-in-law told me. He got the experience last year. You can use ERAS for submitting your applicaitons. But save a couple just in case those who receive your emails want you to submit through eRAS. You have only 30 chances to use ERAS during scramble.

Good luck.

  i have another questions, the 30 by ERAS, don't count against u if you are sending your documents to the same programs that you applied to during the regular match....right???? so in others words, the 30 programs by ERAS are all new programs....and the ones you applied for during the regular match are so called freebies....so i can just call them and say now i am a scramble applicant and can u relook at my application...coz they alreadt have your application.

is this right???????????? someone pls clarify
