Hi,

Is there any last date to upload LORs with ERAS. If not by when should this be done?

Thanks!

No, there is no cutoff date. However, ideally you want to have all your LORs in ERAS on September 1, when you send out your applications. Remember that ECFMG will get bogged down by the mass of LORs that need to be scanned, so around September 1 it may take 3 weeks for them to scan your LOR after it is received. Today, 7/26, they are reporting that they are already 11 days behind.

To access the LOR delay sign into ECFMG Oasis, then click on ERAS Support Services, then Verify Receipt of ERAS Documents, on that page there is a link to the daily update.

I'm not sure if there is a delay if you submit the letter electronically. I don't have experience with that.

Hey Irina
I was so worried because I lost my MSPE, so I need to send it to my Dean again, and then to Eras services, but I'm in another city, and I don't want to ask again permission at work... so I just remember MSPE needs to be send before november?? Correct me if I'm wrong... Thanks...
Other wise, is a good Idea to move heaven and earth to send my MSPE before august 1st?

Thanks again
