When applying for residency, which is more important: GPA or Board Scores? Or are they both considered equally?

from everything I have heard/read/etc....boards...hands down....but you should still strive for the complete package...

GPA is subjective from school to school. USMLE scores are the trump card... they can make or break an application.

Board scores >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GPA

Agree with above.
Most top schools and many non top schools don't even have GPA.
