I've been searching through the forum trying to find out which schools use pass/fail or letter grade systems, but so far I've only found old, outdated threads. I only know about the grading systems for a few schools, so I was wondering if you guys could help out 🙂


Pass/Fail
NYCOM
OUCOM
UNECOM

Letter grades
LMU-DCOM
LECOM-Erie
LECOM-Bradenton
OSU-COM

Wow I would imagine letter grades in med school would be stressful and annoying... definitely something I would want to avoid.
 
Anyone know about Touro-CA?
 
Arent letter grades better if you can pull As when applying to residencies?

Never mind. I found it. They use percentages that I'm assuming get translated into letter grades since they mention grade points in their academic policy.
 
KCOM's grading system is kind of weird (from what I gathered). It sounds like classes such as Anatomy are waited more than other classes. I think it is letter grades though (atleast a numerical score, i.e. 1=F, 4=A). Can someone verify this for me?
