grading

Improving Clinical Eval Results and "Fairness" I've been doing some thinking and reading of the forum, and have decided there must be a better attitude for approaching clinicals than I and many of many fellow students have. I've observed the students who are doing well and those who are not...

This is weird, but I apply to medical school in about a year. I started medication for depression and anxiety one week before I started college. I was a 4.0 student in high school, but my medication has put me in kind of haze, and now I'm pretty average at a 3.45. I have ADD as well, but...

Why are B-'s so bad? Why are they so frowned upon when technically its a 80-82?

I have heard multiple things about how the Step 1 three number score is calculated. I am curious as to how they actually make the curve.

I sent some applications to transfer schools. I'm a freshman in undergrad at a school that is paying me to attend. I am very honored to be at this private school on full scholarship, however I have a lot of problems with their science department. I came here because it was free but I'm...

Hi, I was wondering which schools are P/F, which are H/P/F, and which are grades. I know there have been lists before but I am aware this is something that is changing in schools and therefore some of the older threads are not entirely accurate. Is there anywhere to find this information out...

I know there's a thread for schools that are pass/fail, but what are the ones that are not (so I can try to avoid them lol) I'll start: University of Iowa (Honors, Near Honors, Pass, Fail) NYMC (Honors, High Pass, Pass, Fail)
