Is PhORCAS really Trash? Recent PhORCAS Glitch and What To Do

Phorcas is ripping off our students and residents with this major glitch they’ve had. I’ve had many candidates reach out since phorcas is telling them “idk what happen have the program email use”. If a candidate doesn’t have all the info in the app, it may not be there fault.

Any details? My site was affected last year where 1/3 of our applications didnt make it to us initially

Strictly by luck… finished our app reviews, made our interview offer decisions, then went back to phorcas before sending the emails and there were 17 previously unseen applications (our team came together quickly to review and only delayed our offers by a day or two)
