The deadline as per eras is DEC.1st, you can register as soon as you have passed step 1 and the other steps can be pending. I don't know your particular situation, but the process varies depending if your eligible to work in the US or not. The number of attempts, you know if you're competitive for the match, why register in the match if you're not even going to be ranked(multiple attempts and not so hot scores)
however, you must be registered with eras to be considered.
Folks with visa issues must try the match, otherwise postmatch is where its at.
Hope this helps in some way.

Go to FRIEDA. Call em' up/write them one by one. I did that for peds - got lots of responses. Don't buy lists. It takes time to do it through FRIEDA but at least you know that the info is correct when you do it by yourself!
Good luck.

GET THE GREENBOOK and contact the programs you're interested in, or is it the purplebook?
The registry of ACGME accredited programs, by the way
CONGRATS on that awesome score!

not eras the match they're two different things, without eras
you have almost no chance of getting in.
