ERAS said they sent it to everyone.. so everyone with AAMC ID will have recieved it by now. What will you achieve by looking for the person who did not rcv the email.

This e-mail is to explain how ERAS will work during the Scramble period. Receiving this e-mail does NOT imply anything whatsoever about your NRMP Match status. This e-mail is being sent to every applicant who used MyERAS this season in search of a residency position.

Dear ERAS Applicant,
This e-mail is to explain how ERAS will work during the Scramble period. Receiving this e-mail does NOT imply anything whatsoever about your NRMP Match status. This e-mail is being sent to every applicant who used MyERAS this season in search of a residency position.
> Contact Programs <
If you are unmatched, you should telephone the program director of programs with unfilled position(s) before sending any information. Program directors will tell you whether they wish to receive documents via ERAS, e-mail, or fax.
> Scramble Dates <
This year's Scramble runs from 12:00 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 13th to 12 noon Eastern Time on Thursday, March 15th. During this time, the Scramble version of ERAS will be available.
Note: The MyERAS Web site will be open prior to 12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 13th to allow applicants to prepare their application for Scramble. However, any programs applied to before Scramble starts will incur the regular ERAS fee.
> Before Scramble <
In the next few days, you should access MyERAS and confirm that the information in your Profile is up-to-date. You may also want to look at your Personal Statement to see if you should create a new one for Scramble.
Print out NOW - copies of your Application, CV and Personal Statement in case you need to fax these to programs during Scramble.
> Scramble ERAS <
You may use MyERAS to transmit your application to no more than 30 programs during the Scramble period (12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, March 13th to 12 noon Eastern Time on Thursday, March 15th).
There will be no ERAS fees charged for applications transmitted during the ERAS Scramble period. If, however, you access MyERAS before 12 noon Eastern Time on Tuesday and you apply to programs before 12 noon Eastern Time, you will be charged for those programs. Do not attempt to preempt the Scramble system.
Note: 30 programs is an absolute maximum - you will not be able to apply to more than 30 programs via ERAS during the Scramble period, even if you are willing to pay a fee to do so. Applicants with outstanding balances will not be allowed access to ERAS during Scramble.
> Applying to Programs <
During Scramble, select the programs to which you wish to apply. This year, the NRMP's unfilled list will have the ACGME ID for the unfilled programs. Use the ACGME ID to search for and select programs quickly. The selected programs will appear on your "Programs - Selected" list. Click on the button 'Apply to Selected Programs'. You will see an invoice with zero ERAS fees. From this screen, click on the button 'Apply to Selected Programs'. This will process your application to the residency programs.
Once you see these programs on your "Programs - Applied To" list, you know your applications have been transmitted.
> USMLE Transcripts
The National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) will process USMLE transcript requests received during the Scramble period. Applicants who have not previously requested electronic transmission of USMLE transcripts through ERAS will be charged the $50 NBME/ECFMG fee. Applicants who have already transmitted scores via ERAS will not incur additional USMLE transcript fees.
> Applicant Document Tracking System (ADTS)
Due to the extra load ADTS reports place on the ERAS database, ADTS will not be available on the first day of Scramble.
> Post Scramble
At 12 noon Eastern Time on Thursday March 15th, the ERAS Scramble period will end. Any programs applied to after that time will incur regular ERAS fees.
If you do not locate a residency position during Scramble, consider our sister service, "FindAResident." A number of programs will enter their post-match vacancies into FindAResident. FindAResident is an online service that brings together programs looking to fill positions with applicants seeking positions. Residency programs advertise post-match vacancies and applicants post their resumes for review. FindAResident allows you to search for open positions and notify programs of your interest online. Find out more about this service at www.aamc.org/findaresident.
Good luck in the Match,
The ERAS Staff
