The best time wud be to apply on September 1st itself.The earlier u apply the better it wud be because programs will start reviewing yur application in time.
But, as yur other step scores will be available only by october,so u can try yur luck even then,because u have no other option.
U will have to apply to programs thro' ERAS website.For opening an account on this website u will have to purchase an ERAS token thro' the ECFMG website.After getting the token u can have an AAMC ID which u will need inorder to log in to the ERAS.
Good Luck!
