All participants in the scramble should prepare by having a digital and a hard copy of their application packet ready to go.  CASPRweb will not reopen (designations, CRIP, etc.) for the scramble.  The only applications the programs will have access to online are students who previously applied to that program through CASPR.  However you can log onto www.CASPRweb.org to print or save a copy of your application.  You will have access to your account until March 22nd, so don't delay! 

CASPR will publish a document on www.casprcrip.org at 5 pm EST on Match Day March 8, 2010 with a page for each program with an unfilled position.  The page will list the application materials required by the program, deadlines, contact information, etc. 

Each program has specific requirements for application during the scramble just as they had during the regular CASPR cycle.  Be sure to read each Unfilled Parameters page carefully for the materials you need to send.  The most common materials are transcripts, NBPME scores, and CV (in addition to the CASPR application).

You can begin contacting programs immediately.  However, some programs do not want to be contacted directly, they just want you to send your application.  All communication happens directly between the program and the applicants. CASPR is not involved in the Scramble process.

The Scramble happens very quickly.  Each program establishes their own schedules and many will fill that first day.  It is important to be prepared.
