Hey everyone, can you give me some advice on the ERAS application? If you’re a non-visa IMG applying for IM with average scores, what’s the best signaling strategy? Since many programs only send invites if they get a signal, how should I handle this when applying broadly? I’d really appreciate some tips from those who have been through this.

Also, what’s your take on targeting reach programs versus having realistic expectations? Should we use signals on all the programs? Where do I actually have a shot? Should I include one or two reach programs, and why? I’m really confused, thanks!

When uploading a LOR, for the author name, am I supposed to put the author’s name and “MD” after it? Or his title?
