Payment of ERAS Fees

Hi, can anyone help me out with a few questions on the payment of eras fees.
First, my calculated Eras fees comes to around $3000. However my credit card does not have that high a limit. So how do I go about it?
Do I apply to fewer programs at first, get the invoice and then pay through my credit card, till the credit limit. The pay the credit card bill and then apply again to mroe programs. This seems the most reasonable option to me. However that would make my applications a little delayed, perhaps into the second week of september. Is that going to be a problem?
Thanks for responding. I am getting very stressed abou this issue.

If u can not pay the fees all at once because of yur credit limit then u can talk to the ban to increase yur limit if that is possible for them to do.If not then u have no option but to do as u have said or apply now and send the money thro' a Check later.
Delay of a week will not affect yur number of interviews much.
Good Luck!

Re: Payment of ERAS Fees bingousmle - 09-19-10 11:48 it all depends on the field you are applying to.. if its internal medicine apply to it first.. surgery can be put later as most programs download their application beginning the second week..
