If one does not have an MSPE from his/her medical school then he/she can request the ECFMG to provide him/her a letter in its place in order to complete the application .This letter which the ECFMG provides is called the Neutral Filler Letter.
Good Luck!

It is just an alternative to complete the application.
If u have a one-page Dean's Letter then u can submit it as well.This will be also accepted by ERAS.
Good Luck!
