With ERAS applications now submitted, many applicants feel relief but also uncertainty. The essays, CVs, and letters are complete — yet the most decisive phase is still ahead: how you communicate with programs, how you prepare and perform in interviews, and how you follow up afterward.
This stage often determines whether a candidate gets an interview or even matches at all. I’ve dedicated my work to guiding aspiring medical professionals through this process. While the ERAS application is a major hurdle, I’ve seen that avoidable mistakes after submission — a poorly worded email, a weak interview, or silence afterward — can cost strong candidates opportunities.
With Step 1 now Pass/Fail and Step 2 CS discontinued, programs rely more than ever on communication, interviews, and professionalism. Success is no longer just about scores — it’s about strategy, clarity, and confidence.
I provide structured support at three key points:
1. Communication with Programs — Professional, concise messages that show interest without overstepping.
2. Interview Preparation — Mock interviews, refining your story, projecting confidence.
3. Post-Interview Strategy — Letters of interest, second looks, and well-timed communication.
If you want to maximize your chances this season, reach out — together we can strengthen your candidacy and reduce stress during this critical phase.
