Hey guys,

I am going through ERAS and trying to assign Letters of Rec to different programs. I figured we could all help each other out with this. Post any programs you know that require a LOR from your Home Chief of Ortho, Program Director, Chief Resident, Gen Surg, Non-Surgical letter, or someone else. Also if a program requires something in addition to ERAS.

I will start it off with stuff I have found thus far perusing orthogate and websites.

Stanford: Just ERAS
Drexel: SAT and certified MCAT scores
CSD: Email SAT scores; official undergrad transcript
UMDNJ-Newark: MCAT scores
NYU: personal statement about why you want to attend NYU
Tufts: Non-ortho letter
UIC: Letter from your Program Director
UCSF: Non-surgery letter
UCLA: MCAT
UC Irvine: ACLS/CPR training
UCLA Harbor: MCAT
USF: Undergrad transcipt on request
New Mex: Mailed letter of interest
U of OK: Speific requirements for PS or mail/email additioanl info
Wichita: Hand written PS

Probably best to ask them how they want you to send it, but on the score report it has a link at the bottom that takes them to a site that certifies that it's real.

Yale, WashU, and University of Washington all require forms to be filled out by your letter writers, which are found on their websites.

Another interesting note. When I was looking at UC San Diego's requirements a couple months back, I saw the undergrad transcript requirement too, but now as I am searching through their site: , they seem to have removed the requirement. Or am I missing something? If not then that is a huge load off my shoulders, because my undergrad was notorious for their unorganized admin services.

Also Drexel's site says "Certified MCAT scores", so does printing out the score report in the previous link count as certified?

To get your MCAT score report:

Then click "Score Report Login" under Quick Links to the right. Log in and then click "Create and Print my own official score report".

Also, Case Western wants an undergrad transcript.

Last year I got my ACT scores faxed from my highschool to the programs that wanted it.

I can't quite remember how I got my MCAT scores, but I think I remember having to make a couple phone calls to get them. I faxed them straight to the programs as well. Also, I took it when it was paper and pencil which made it a bit more difficult. A simple google search should help.

I didn't receive interviews from the places that wanted the ACT/SAT/MCAT scores. It might be because I just faxed them and they weren't loaded on ERAS. It's probably because getting interviews is tough and by ortho standards i'm pretty average.

The whole process is pretty ridiculous. I couples matched with my wife who is doing peds. The hoops I had to jump through compared to her were insane. It's worth it though, especially when the interviews start rolling in.
