...back to your Qs:
You will also need L5 form, which is the biggest pain in a neck...depending on med school.
This form is about certain amount of required weeks for certain rotations.
If you wont have this form it will take a lot of time for PTAL to be issued. Some med schools, if you wont bother them will take months to fill out this form, some-dont even know how to do it. CMB works very fast when they have all documents that they need.
Sometimes, if you grad a while ago they might ask you to explain what did you do after graduation. It is not a bid deal, and should be answered in free writing style, they do not care about your CV, honors and awards and it is not required to do anything after graduation, you can even simply say that you were studying USMLEs.
PTAL is just a formal letter with the same words for everyone.
There is should be check list on their web in PDF (together with instruction).
