Yes! I did it! I just submitted my ERAS application for residency programs. I can't believe this is actually happening, or that I threw down a combined $560 registering for the Electronic Residency Application Service and the National Residency Matching Program. Good thing I'm already hopelessly in debt. What's another few hundred dollars?
I'll be honest: I'm a little bit nervous, because this is the first time I've ever applied to anything where my scores are below the average of the applicant pool. I guess that's why I ended up spending so much money applying to so many programs (35 to be exact). But all of the faculty members I spoke to recommended that instead of cutting programs off of my list, I should let them cut me. Pros: increased odds. Cons: decreased morale.
Welp, from now on, it's out of my hands. Time to sit back and pray for interview offers. Wish me luck!
