2009 MATCH TIMELINE
June 1, 2008
Application for Dean’s Letter (Medical Student Performance Evaluation) needs to be received by St. Matthew’s. This includes questionnaire, CV, and personal statement. The questionnaire and mailing instructions can be found on SMUonline by clicking the student icon, followed by opening the questionnaire in the third drop down box.
Mid-late June 2008
ERAS 2009 Applicant User Guide will be available for PDF download by chapter or in its entirety on the ERAS Web site.
Schools may begin to generate and distribute MyERAS tokens to applicants.
July 1, 2008
MyERAS (https://services.aamc.org/eras/myeras/) Web site opens to applicants to begin working on their applications.
ERAS Support Services at ECFMG will begin generating and distributing tokens to IMGs.
June-August
Try to take CS since some residency programs require all IMG’s to have a CS score in order to get an interview. If you fail, you have 60 days before you can retake the exam. TAKE Step 2 CK in the summer if you did poorly on Step 1 and think you will score high on CK to help offset the low Step 1 score. Otherwise, the Fall is usually okay for Step 2 CK. Most Program Director’s I’ve talked to prefer to see the whole package if possible.
September 1, 2008

ACGME accredited programs may begin contacting the ERAS PostOffice to download application files.
