Do NAVLE scores matter for Internships/Residencies?

[CrossCassowary]

Newb question but I keep getting conflicting answers. Some people say it doesn't matter as long as you pass. Conversely, in human med, your board scores are pass fail but the scores are like grades - hugely affect how you get ranked for residency. Does this happen in vet med?

Thanks and stay healthy in this weird time

No you pass or fail. No other consideration is made

Awesome, thanks! Glad we don't have to worry about that. I have to say though - why on earth put a score to it then at all? Just another thing for students to compare.

They give you the breakdown of the the different sections, which is point based. I suppose it is really for your own knowledge of your strengths and weaknesses.
