Hey y'all,
I'm a first year allopath student at a school that still uses the archaic grading system. We just finished gross anatomy, and I barely passed the shelf exam, which was a large portion of our grade. This means that I will be getting a C for the course. Now, I know that this is a "Pass" at other schools, but it just seems more serious when it's an actual letter grade.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being equivalent to getting a minimally passing score on Step 1), how much will this affect my overall record in the long term? I have my sights set on EM or General Surgery...
