So I just finished my first semester of medical school and our final grades were posted today (I did pretty well, although I could have done a little better if I studied a bit more for the last tests, c'est la vie).
Anyways, I was wondering what the average grades or GPAs are for students during OMS1 and OMS2 respectively. I fully understand that grading scales vary drastically by school (from simple pass/fail to ABCDF and everything in between), but I was hoping somebody might know an estimation regarding averages and top quartiles of schools, etc.
I also understand that pre-clinical grades matter extremely little when applying for residency, but I am still curious. Anyways, I searched for this answer and kept getting pre-med average GPAs/grades and could not find averages while in med school.
Anyways, thanks in advance and I hope everybody is enjoying Christmas break!
