Is the ECFMG certificate required by all programs by the rank order deadline? If my certificate arrives in May can I still match in March? Pleas provide me with some details.
Thank you Doctok.

This is what the NRMP says:
"I am a foreign medical school graduate. If I have not received my ECFMG® Certification when the rank order list opens can I still enter my rank order list?
Yes, you can. If the NRMP receives notification from ECFMG® that you have completed your exam requirements for certification by the rank order list deadline, you will be included in the Match. If we have not received ECFMG® confirmation, NRMP will withdraw you from the match shortly after the rank order list deadline and your rank order list will NOT be used in the match."
So, u donot necessarily need to be ECFMG certified in order to particiapte in the NRMP Match.All u need that u must have passed the USMLE Step-1,2CK,2CS.
Good Luck!
