do last semester grades matter when residencies come along

[Sina]

Members don't see this ad.

my med school said i just cant make d's and f's to be admitted but if i got c's, would this hurt me in the future. ie- do residency directors look at your college grades too or college GPA?
😕

They look at your CV and Med School grades. Stop worrying.

I've heard that most residency programs don't ask for your grades - only your undergrad institution and major.

But some early matches (optho, neurosurgery, etc) do ask for trasncripts to be sent in.

Fornicate... what a great word. I should make a mental note to use it more often. Good times, Cerb.

Sina,
In your own words redirected back at you, "you are exactly the type of student i hate."

Some competitive residencies actually ask for your undergrad transcript? Why is that? I feel like once you get into medical school, it should just be your med school grades that count....

your school is cool. at least they wont rescind with you getting Cs. so just relax and make sure you dont get anything lower than a C.

LMAO

Curriculum Vitae (your resume).

I think a curriculum vitae is slighty different from a resume because it also mentioned pertinent coursework completed and in progress. I am not sure about this. Maybe someone can confirm or deny this?

I know sina personally, he just has insecurities about his shortcomings (mentioned in his signature)

I've heard that they don't matter much - what matters is your med school performance. But who knows for sure? Sometimes they just might serve as an interview consersation? 🙄

no, you don't really need to list courses. instead, a cv is geared towards academic professions, listing research experiences, grants, publications, conference presentations, and professional society memberships and of course related employment

You hate people who worry about getting C's?

probably like me, he gets annoyed people who worry about a GPA of 3.95 dropping a few points and affecting (which it won't) something that's gonna happen 4 years later.

Yes, exactly. I also don't like people who post a question with two options, knowing they have selected one of the options, then disagrees vehemently with an opponent, to the point of saying "you are exactly the type of student i hate." (in Sina's words) to someone who was just trying to state an opinion
