in talking with some classmates, we couldn't agree on the degree of benefit to submitting ERAS v early (i.e. Sept 1) or just on the early side (Sept) versus just before the deadlines of the programs. any perspectives specific to RadOnc programs in general? is there an advantage? does it follow the addage of "apply early, interview late"?
When to Submit ERAS?

Submitting an application on 9/1 > 9/30 >>> before deadlines of programs.
Many programs offer rolling interviews, why delay for more than a couple of weeks? Don't procrastinate w/ something like this.
Things you can finish quickly include your CAF and personal statements. Nobody will have all their LORs on the first day but be on the ball for things you can control. Good luck.

absolutely as soon as you possibly can. do NOT wait. Even if the app is incomplete. they start looking right away and interivew spots start filling with promising folks eary. This can be a difference between acceptance or not.

I would suggest applying after the deadline. Give them the impression that they need you more than you need them.
