Members don't see this ad.

MS3 at a "top 5" med school. So having seen firsthand the kind of people who make it past the adcom, and having experienced firsthand what clerkship grading and USMLEs actually capture about us, I stand by my take. Caring that someone got into Harvard is just as good (or better) a heuristic as the other crap we have to work with.

thank god we got that out of the way. gives a frame of reference for every comment lol

all these years later - does it still feel like AOA is the only "flag/marker" that can save a state school md in getting to a t20 academic IM? or have things changed?
