hi beesh81
sorry to hear that you are involved with those services. ECFMG controls every thing, and this why it is called ecfmg/eras. if they dont have access to you eras then whoooom is uploading our LORs, MSPEs, certificates.............
beware even if they dont have access, they work with NRMP as one group and it is not easy for your PS to be downloaded by them in the opposite direction of the abovementioned documents.
hope my answer satisfy your query.

look...i honestly think that nothing will happen to anyone. Things never change. The system never changes. Its like the same politics over and over again. Take assurance in that.
However, the fact that you are defending yourself about taking a paragraph is truly a reflection of your lack of remorse and ability to realize what you did is wrong. Period.
And you are not the first one to do it nor the last. Its been going on for years and years. The problem is that this system for doctors is definately not protected by a whole set of upheld ethics. It still feels like 1959...the way things are run and the expectations.
No one will care about the PS. They still want the 99 99 99 regardless of the thief or cheat you are.
Rest assured, nothing will happen. And to those of us who dont even fathom of doing such a thing....our bad lucks.
Cheaters always prosper

well obviously the answer is 'do something'
I would track your applications to see what has been downloaded by the programs.
I would then send a new PS to the programs that have NOT downloaded your information.
It would see just ODD if the programs are in possession of two downloaded PS's. You may, by accident, expose yourself by that process.
That is what i would do. Be careful if they have already downloaded the PS...you dont want them to have two different ones...that may invoke suspicion

Beesh , calm down now. I understand its easier said than done but just hope for the best. Friends lets not spread anxiety in this forum anymore. Don't we already have enough stress to handle? Not that I did this but I can imagine how somebody can get anxious reading all this.

I think you shouldn't do anything for now because it's kinda too late to do anything anyway. In case you attend interview and is asked about it, just tell honestly that you were looking from the internet for a sample PS & tell them the truth, that you didn't know 1 paragraph is considered plagiarism. But explain this only if you are asked, don't start to bring the subject yourself.
