That's the thing about NYU and Cornell that I dislike. They both have P/F, but how is a P/F a true P/F if you're still being "ranked" and your preclinical courses taken into account in your Dean's Letter?
At Sinai, we are true P/F with no record of your class performance in the first 2 years taken into account for residency. AOA selection is based on 3rd year performance (we do have a "high pass" designation here, so it's not just honors/pass like some other schools) and your boards score only. As thus, there's really no pressure during your courses for the first two years (which I think is the way it's supposed to be). I've doubly-and-triply checked this, so don't worry.
