Thanks to dr_puma for the great post.
DOCUMENTS OVERVIEW
Visit http://www.aamc.org/students/eras/resources/start.htm for an online documents tutorial.
There are 3 different documents you will enter and control (assign to
programs) in ERAS. All
this is handled in the Documents section of your MyERAS.
1. Letters of Recommendation (LoR)
a. Get as many as you want
b. Can assign up to 4 to any one program
c. You “designate” and “reser |

they the same? Or USMLE ID is the same as AAMC ID?
Anyone could please explain this?
Thanks very much in advance! |

发帖数: 103 | 8 Hi Emily,
I made my calls in early December and was able to talk to about 40 PCs
successfully last year. I did try to call multiple times prior to get in
touch with some PCs.Most of the time, even the PCs were not around, someone
else picked up the phone and told me when would be a good time to call back.
So, overall, I had no trouble.
I am not sure if it is too early to call now. If you could wait till the end
of this month, things might be a little different.
I did not use AAMC site much last |

scramble begining in 2011 or 2012. see the link:

If somebody wants scramble this year, please expect the chaos.
One more question, during scramble, if I apply through ERAS, is that
sufficient? Do I have to call or e-mail or fax to the program in addition to
apply via ERAS? Thanks. |

【转帖】外国学生可以申请那些美国医学院 2010-02-20 09:28:57
由许晓鸣张贴 @ 2010-02-20 09:28:57 (1738)
加拿大学生赴美国读医学院有多种理由。加拿大只有17所医学院，很多医学院招生有地
区限制。对于每个学生而言，可供报考的加拿大医学院很有限。而近年申请医学院录取
竞争愈来愈激烈。据北美医学院联盟（AAMC）的统计，2005-2006年加拿大学生被至少
一个加拿大医学院录取的成功率只有29.3%。如果申请不成功，来年重新申请的胜算未
必更大，而且一些医学院三年之内不得再申请。但如果同时申请加拿大和美国医学院，
成功的可能性会有所增加。如果将来想在做临床的同时从事医学研究和教学，美国著名
医学院的资源和影响力会更强一些。另外由于美国医疗体系包括公立和私立两部分，如
果将来愿意在美国行医，平均收入会高些。即使将来想回加拿大，在美国医学院毕业后
再回来也没有根本的障碍。美国医学院毕业生 |

2.推荐信上有你的名字，USMLE number就够了，AAMC number不是必须的。
3.可以请她写好信，签上字，然后在封好的信封上再签上字。到了七月份，再附上
ECFMG-MyERAS里的cover letter, Data Submission Form, 自己寄，算是waive的。 |

是ECFMG那个号码吧？
万一这个医生没写过这种推荐信，我该怎么告诉她怎么写呢？
需要给他个样本看看？还是说她应该知道怎么写？
那个信封，是一般first class得信封就可以了吗？因为我想到时候我寄东西给ECFMG可能想用fedex or priority mail,到时候可以把她的推荐信伴随信封，还有cover letter, form一起塞在fedex信封里是吗？每个推荐信需要寄一次给ECFMG，还是所有推荐信塞在一起寄给ECFMG呢？ |

You have great credentials. Please don't give up. Try scramble if you have
materials ready. Keep the attendings you know posted and they may be able to
give you information when there is dropout from their program.
You could try "FindAResident"

better to have the USMLE ID, or it doesn't matter?

schools. US medical schools and DO schools gradually increase enrollment,
and some new schools were opened or planned to open.
For CMGs:
1) Act fast - don't wait several years to complete USMLE exams;
2) Set a realistic goal - aiming for some good specialties but also have a
backup plan. IM is still the best bid for many;
3) Well prepared - try to improve your credential and build up connections;

发帖数: 1334 | 32 Thanks. I won't say the door will be completely closed for FMGs, just the
competition will be intensified if no big increase in residency funding.
AAMC said to "reduce" the dependence on foreign-trained doctors, not to "
eliminate" them.
wrong to think that way.
the door never will close to FMG for sure in reality. |

我是Premed,国内的本科和博士。 现在是千老。准备明年或者最晚后年申请医学院。断
断续续的修了所在学校的一些学分。
学校里Second bac 的申请就开始了。很犹豫要不要申请。
记得以前有位申请医学院的大虾说，他跟所在的学校讲要念本科，就可以把国内的学分
都转过来，最近好像看AAMC的规矩，好像又不太可行。
如果进入了second bac program,一定要念完吗？
另外，下面的几个second bac 选哪个好啊？
a. 中文。
b. 文学批评。
c. 护理专业。
d. Journalism

There was a bill for residency cap removal/position increase (about 3500 a
year). But the bill never came out from the committee simply because US
government has no money for this now.
Currently the total number of first-year residency spots is about 24,000.

workbook做的成绩通常还行，EK101错的惨不忍睹, 全真题做过两个AAMC 3拿了8,
AAMC8 拿了10. 但是这两套真题的passages我看了都很眼熟，曾经做过的。
(1) 还有一个月， verbal 还有可能提高吗？
还要继续坚持做题，复盘吗？、
还是就直接放弃verbal, 专心学习Physics和Bio?
如果说放弃verbal, practice verbal 的频率以多少合适呢？比如就只做真题里的
verbal?
(2) 读passage前，先看一下问题，有用吗？
豆角说不管用。我试过了。也感觉不太有用。
有的时候，读了问题，再读passage, 反而有distraction.
而且如果先读问题，每个passage, 总是还要多花40秒到一分钟的时间。
但是有的时候，从问题中抓到一个关键词或者人名，在读passage的时候就可以格外注
