Get Ready For the Next Match Season -2009!

Hi Friends I wanted to Post a comprehensive Time Line of preparation for upcoming match...

Lets come in retrospective way..According to time line...

For The admission in 2009 july the procedure for the upcoming match starts on september 1st2008-Called 2009 Match

The procedure is like this..

ERAS is the post office which scans all of our documents(LOR's,CV,Personal Statements,Photo,Transcripts,ECFMG certificate) and send them to the programs to which we apply..

After we send documents...They'll reach in 3-14 days(depends on the method we sent it)...

After that ERAS takes around 15days to scan and keep them online..

So u have to send all doc's atleast 1 month before September1st to ERAS

After u finish off Step1,2ck and CS and completion of ur verification (If its done previously) U ll get your ECFMG certificate in Just 1week...

But Step2CS results come for every 3 months To get results by september1st u shud've taken exam by July5th

For that u shud have got the Visa by then...It takes 1month for the Visa Document preperation and attending the Interview..So u shud be ready by June1st with atleast Step1 Score(With Ck score added to it,It will be good)...

Score reporting takes 21days minimum...So u shud be ready with Step1 exam taken in the Month of April or May

If it were Step2CK u will take atleast 3 months for preparation From Step1 Exam/Score date So u shud've taken Step1 By December..

But to apply for Step1 It takes 14days For ECFMG to accept our Form183(Our Application for Step1 With our Principal's signature) and another3-5days and postal delays etc., so u must be applying in October for the exam in December...

I suggest most of you to apply for Step2cs while applying for Step1/Ck as it is so difficult to get a date for CS.
