any sites with compiled info on schools that are Pass/Fail non-AOA?

Though most schools that are Pass/Fail and non-AOA have that info listed on their individual websites, are there any websites out there with all of that information complied?

Also, I would imagine that having a Pass/Fail non-AOA system would make med school a little less stressful due. Is this correct thinking? What are residencies options based on then, just board scores (since I'm guessing that there's no class rank?).

Even in pass/fail schools, there can still be (and often is) class rank. Students still get number grades, so there can be a ranking.

I'm pretty sure that "association" members like Stanford and Mayo don't count, but I'm not sure.

I don't know if AOA is something huge to worry about...specialties like derm are only 30% AOA , so the majority of those that match aren't members. In the end, gunning for AOA might make your life a hell of a lot ****tier in med school when it might not have to be, especially if you are really interested in one particular specialty (you can demonstrate interest from day one so that your ERAS app will be suited for matching that specialty).

This is a great resource as well....looks like I lied about derm...the AOA percent is around 50% (the 30% number I was thinking of was from radonc, oops!).


Also remember that residency matching is less objective than the med school admissions process. Alot depends on your connections, who knows you (i.e. residency program directors), past research you've done in that field, clinical evaluations, board scores, and most importantly, how well the program liked you in person while you interviewed. AOA w/ great publications and a step 1 score of 260 with great clinical evaluations won't necessarily match you to your dream location, but it will help!
