ERAS Token 2027 releases in 36 days — June 24, 2026.
Most IMGs treat the Token as a starting line. It isn't. It's the first binary filter in a six-stage Match funnel, and the 10 weeks between Token release and the September 2 application opening determine whether your file ever reaches a human reviewer.
Inside this carousel:
→ The full 2027 release calendar
→ How programs actually filter applications
→ The visa data that should shape your program list
→ The mistakes that cost IMGs the cycle every year

35 days until ECFMG releases the 2027 ERAS Token. Are you ready?
On June 24, 2026, IMGs can request their Token and register at MyERAS. Most applicants don't realize the ten weeks between Token release and the September 2 submission deadline are where the cycle is actually won or lost.
Before you decide how many programs to apply to, run the numbers. Our free 2027 ERAS Program Cost Calculator computes your total across up to three specialties — including the $185 Token, $80 USMLE transcript, and per-program fees that climb fast after program #30.

The N**P Guide for SOAP 2026 has been released.
No applicant plans to enter the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program. The objective is always to match through the Main Residency Match. However, disciplined applicants understand that contingency planning is part of strategic preparation.
SOAP is governed by strict eligibility requirements, application limits, communication restrictions, and binding offer mechanics. Entering Match Week without understanding these rules creates unnecessary risk.
The best strategy is to be prepared.
