All P's in Clinical Clerkships, how much does it hurt?

[warrior209]

Hey everyone, need some advice/perspective on prospects moving forward after a tough clinical clerkship year. Just some background, I go to a top 10 medical school that does clinical clerkships in 2nd year med school. In a combo of average clinical evals, average shelf scores, and some family matters, I will not have gotten an HP or H in any of my 2nd year clerkships.

My questions: How much does that screw me come ERAS time? I'm interested in Internal med, anesthesia, and EM. My goal isnt necessarily a prestigious residency program, but would like to be in a city. Haven't taken Step 1 yet (our dedicated starts in a few months). Does getting Honors in my SubI's next year (I will be doing 4 subI's next year) offset a poor 2nd year?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

If you are right at average at a top 10 school then I dont see why that is a bad thing...
