Any idea on how class rank is calculated? Are clerkships weighted more than basic science classes, etc.?

Hi there,
Different schools have different ways of ranking students. Some schools determine class rank after you have finished your pre-clinical years. Some include pre-clinical grades plus USMLE/COMLEX I. Some include clerkship grades in addition to pre-clinical grades.

You may want to ask this question on your interviews. If you are already a medical student, do the best you can in all of your courses both pre-clinical and clinical.
