I have been having a hard time finding the grading intervals for the DO schools. Are there any that are pass/fail for the first two years or ever? Anyone know where I can find this info out?

hylacinerea said:You must have a 70% to pass each class at azcom. Additionally there are a few classes, such as omm, that have higher requirements. GPA is calculated as a cumulative percentage from all classes. Class rank is calculated but withheld until end of second year.
DblHelix said:But do they give you a score? i.e. I got a 95 in the class or do you just know you passed that class?
JonnyG said:PCOM also switched for straight numerical averages to weighted class averages this year. Which means harder classes are worth more than easier classes.
DblHelix said:So what do you all think of the numeric grading system? Do you think it fosters competitiveness among the students, or just generally make med school life more stressful?
