![]() From Dylan Morgan,
2018 ERAS applicant: Hey Cindy, I ended up matching at my #1 residency choice. I am doing Internal Medicine at Grand Strand Medical Center in Myrtle Beach, SC. Please feel free to pass along my highest recommendation for your headshots to future applicants. Of note, I was told that at the end of application season, my program prints off every interviewee's picture and goes through them individually to create their rank list. So a professional, memorable picture is very important. Additionally, your picture is distributed among faculty and used for many of the orientation documents and activities until you have your new badge picture taken. So having a professional picture that leaves a good first impression goes a long way. Thanks again for your help! Sincerely, Dylan ![]() From Jake Nicholson
2018 ERAS applicant: Cindy, I ended up at Michigan state university in Grand Rapids for vascular surgery. It was my first choice. Thanks for checking in and thank you for your wonderful services! Respectfully, Jake Nicholson SPECIAL HEADSHOT PRICING FOR ERAS APPLICANTS ERAS applicants! Blue Room is offering a big discount on its $125 studio headshot session. Your cost for a great headshot is only $75. Why do you need a professional headshot for an application? Did you know on average you are 14 times more likely to be picked for an interview if you have a professional headshot? Having a photo without professional lighting and backdrop can possibly hurt your chances of landing your dream residency program. At its simplest level, a professional headshot shows you care enough to invest in a professional portrait. Important: We strongly recommend that your residency portrait be taken on a light gray or white background. This background stands out more on ERAS as a thumbnail and is statistically more likely to be clicked on. And we have the perfect backdrop. :) Correct format and specifications. Make sure your photo conforms to ERAS specifications. The correct format is 2.5" x 3.5" at 150 dpi, with a maximum file size of less than 100 KB. Trying to upload anything in a different format can cause issues and might not be accepted. Blue Room will format your photo correctly and take care of all the specifications needed.
