Hi I sent in my lor`s and transcript to Eras and fedex confirmed the packet reached eras yesterday. Now my query is should I wait till eras confirms my packet was recieved and docs are scanned and then apply??? Can I apply immediately like today?? If i apply today and the programs dont have all the docs is there a greater chance of early rejection.?? I am particularly worried because I am a 1998 grad, but have been in active clinical practice and have a 3mth observership in US I am hoping his lor will have a positive impact on the application. So now if lor`s are not uploaded and if I apply ,is there a greater chance of rejection.(grad year cutoff)My scores are 87 step 1 and 89 step 2. ECFMG certified.Need H1 visa. I am applying to OBGYN and IM.Please advise. Thank you. Sorry for a very long post.

my personal opinion.... its very hard to say .u can start working on ur application like PS etc bcos even if u do apply right now ur LoRS wont come on OASIS till 10 days from being received at ecfmg.so u can do it after 10 days.

Hi thanks for replying. I am further confused. Eras says it takes 5days to confirm reciept of packet and another 5 days to scan. So If I apply after they scan, would there be a further delay to upload. Sorry could not find this info anywhere. I have my CAF and PS ready and submitted.I feel lost.Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
