| Specialty | Programs | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Specialty 1 | 1 | $11 |
2027 ERAS season: $11 per application for the first 30 programs in a specialty, then $30 for each additional program. Fees are counted per specialty. Fee Assistance Program discounts are not included.
Say you apply to 40 programs in one specialty. The first 30 cost $11 each, which is $330. The other 10 cost $30 each, which is $300. The total is $630. If you also apply to 20 programs in a second specialty, that specialty has its own first 30, so it adds only $220.
| Example | Programs | Total fee |
|---|---|---|
| One specialty, 25 programs | 25 | $275 |
| One specialty, 40 programs | 40 | $630 |
| Two specialties, 35 and 20 programs | 55 | $700 |
Planning program signals too? See how many signals you get in each specialty.
The cheapest application is the one you do not send to a program that was never going to interview you. ResidencyPrograms.io Premium is a one-time $87, and dropping a few poor fits pays for it:
3 programs
Past your 30th program in a specialty, each application costs $30. Dropping just 3 saves $90, more than Premium costs.
Graduates from your school and country
See where each program's current residents went to medical school, and find the programs that already train graduates like you.
Where your signals count
See how often each program interviews applicants who signaled it, with a clear High, Medium or Low verdict on where a signal helps most.
Visa sponsorship you can plan on
J-1 and H-1B status for every program, checked against the visa you need before you pay to apply.
Screen-outs flagged for you
Graduation-year limits, Step 2 CK minimums and US clinical experience requirements, compared with your profile.
The real interview bar
Interview rates and the Step 2 CK scores of applicants who were actually interviewed, not just the listed minimum.
An Affinity Score for every program
A 0 to 100 score that shows how well each program matches your personal profile, based on the program's current residents.
In the 2027 ERAS season each application costs $11 for the first 30 programs you apply to in a specialty and $30 for every additional program in that specialty. Fees are counted per specialty.
No. Fee Assistance Program discounts are not included, so your real cost may be lower if you qualify. Other costs such as USMLE or COMLEX score reports, interview travel and the NRMP fee are not included either.
Apply where your profile fits. Program pages show IMG share, visa sponsorship, Step 2 CK expectations, graduation-year limits and interview rates, so you can skip programs that are unlikely to interview you.
