Arguably board scores (USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1) are most important, followed by clinical year grades (usually a split between preceptor evaluations and a standardized "shelf" exam for that month's specialty). Then come didactic years (in terms of importance) where your "GPA" would have been established, but as I mentioned in my last post, most don't advertise an actual GPA since it's pass/fail. It's usually through either public or internal rankings of the class. It's kind of a hodgepodge where residencies see a dean's letter that will reference you as part of a certain quartile of your class. Generally being top half is sufficient and they wouldn't look much further into that. So yeah, lilORANG's friend is right. Pre-clinical grades don't really matter. --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." http://steamcommunity.com/id/Soviet_Poland/wishlist ... Copied to Clipboard! |
