Super nettled! It's especially annoying since we came to the school under the impression preclinical would be P/F, something several classmates have told me would have 100% impacted their decision to come here. I will say, to try and see the silver lining, that several faculty have said that moving to letter grades will help make us more competitive. In short, the rationale proposed is A's look betters than P's on a transcript. I lack the experience to comment on how accurate that is, so it's a possible plus. Everything else has been bunk though, especially this idea that moving to letter grades will magically increase our scores. I know their assumption is the change will make us work harder, yet many of us already live in the library, so I'm not sure what they're truly expecting.
I should also add, and apologies in advance, that it appears mandatory attendance is also likely on the block for changes being implemented in the Fall. There seems to be greater willingness from admin to budge on that, but we'll see.
