I am worried about the so-called class rank and GPA/percentage on the APP. May i know, being realistically, what are the average rank and gpa/percentage that can help me in IM residency?

thanks

GPA/Rank/Percentilecrap = 10%
USMLE/COMLEX = 90%

I thought that was a breakdown of how much each thing matters to your application

This. Just general guild line (esp. for DO school or FMG, not specific for any specialty.

I would actually say that clinical grades matter most at most places and then, followed closely by step scores.

Your ranking matters very little unless you go to a top residency.
