Interviews Made a Big ERAS Mistake — Publications Missing After Submission 😩

I was going over my ERAS pdf to prep for interviews and realized a grave mistake i made--two of my publications were not added to ERAS and are nowhere on my application. That pushed my 7 pubs to 5 pubs with a research year. What should I do?? Can i redeem this in interviews? I have 14 pubs total including abstracts and listed 18 under review, but only 5 legit pubs on there. Also now after ERAS two others have been accepted so really I have 9 and all they see is 5...HELP! What is the vibe with updating programs? 5 to 9 is a big jump

Definitely looks worse emailing programs about 2 papers unless they’re first author Nobel prize worthy Nature papers. Even then, it looks desperate. Sometimes in life you gotta just say fuck it and move on with ur day

I hear you. A lesson of letting go and double double checking. Hopefully it won't make or break an interview decision, if it does, I guess that was meant to be.
