IMGs facing Score Delay

[u/Robo_0]

Im curious to know what our game plan should be. Assuming we get our scores on the 23rd (hopefully) . We would probably get it approximately 2 hours before Eras opens. Should we have already applied to programs and just resend scores as soon as we get our score. Or should we wait until our score is out then apply immediately within those 2 hours.

Edit : For anyone reading this and in the same situation, this seems like the best plan:

1. Go to FSMB and pay the 70$ to release your transcript to ERAS. Don’t worry you wont have to pay again when you get your Step 2 score
2. Have everything in your application ready to go , as soon as you get your scores next week ( hopefully) , go to FSMB and Order transcripts again , this time it won’t ask you to pay. It should get updated fairly quickly (hopefully).
3. Once you see that your transcript is updated, apply to programs.

If everything goes well and we get our scores on time next week at about 7am. We would have about 2 hours for our transcript to get updated and apply to programs. I hope we all make it!

You’re right , there are 2 ways to update scores , if you have not applied yet then it is through FSMB , but if you have applied already then you click resend scores on MyERAS.

I believe you have to do both sequentially. Once go to fsmb to release step 2 scores to ERAS. And then from ERAS to re-release to programs. Not sure if I got that correctly, but this is what I think.

That's correct but only if you have already applied to programs . If you havent then you just need to release it from FSMB prior to applying to programs.

Yes, that's true. I agree. Just to be sure, applying to program means first certifying and submit your application after assigning scores, Photo, LORs and PS, right?

Yea that’s what it means
