Are the honors/high pass/pass and A/B/C systems equivalent?
In other words, if an applicant has a lot of Passes, is that like having a lot of C's?
At some medical schools, students are not allowed to accrue more than a couple of C's before being put on probation or having to repeat the semester. This does not seem to be so of Pass grades, which can account for much of the transcript. On the other hand, it appears as if the distribution of each category is roughly the same percentage when comparing systems. Very roughly speaking:
A=H ~ 40%
B=HP ~ 40%
C=P ~ 20%
If grades and GPA matter less at institutions where the H/HP/P system is used, are the criteria for AOA different?
