I came to know that ecfmg received my letters on 4th sept.So should I wait till I have them scanned in ERAS or should I go ahead and apply. I was just wondering with good LORs they may want to see your application with interest but will it be too late if I apply after 5days,since they are currently scanning documents received on 29th Aug. I was just wondering will interview slot be less after that for a candidate with good CV but low Scores (83/80(2nd attempt/pass/76). Please help me.

Apply now. The letters will catch up.

Hey dear BBB, I am in a similar situation with my fourth letter (from the director of a department of pathology here in the US). I already have 3 letters uploaded, 2 from my country and one from another pathologist graduated in the US, but born in my country. That fourth letter was received on sep-06th, and I am sure is a very nice letter AND is from an american pathologist. would you advise me to wait or should I take the plunge?

I am in the same exact situation... my 4th LOR from Dean of the medical school reached there on sep 10th..all rest is complete.. but i am waiiting for it to show up in scanned documents ( i applied one program for that).. I am going to wait till the 4th letter is uploaded to apply, as i know this is the letter which is going to make or break for me.. I think if i apply now with 3 LOR's the programs will download the application and make a decision based on it..and wount wait for 4th letter to come in thier system ...my 2 cents..

programs usually download regularly. You may want to apply now.. the letters will be downloaded soon. They can't pick and choose on their downloaded items.. My suggestion will be.. Apply now.
