I recently updated one letter of reference for scramble. I am surprised that some programs still download documents on March 7th.
Why do they do it ? Now nothing can change 2008 Match

Because ERAS is updating programs for possible scramble. We have to download ALL DOCUMENTS each time we contact the ERAS post office. We cannot get some, we have to get all of them.

Trust me, if we didn't have to do it, programs wouldn't! wink
