Hi all,
New poster here! Just finished my OBGYN rotation and LOVED IT - I can totally see myself in any of the many specialties (GYN-ONC, REI, MFM, MIS) and/or practicing as a generalist. Absolutely wonderful field with a TON of variety in terms of surgery, medicine, and continuity of care. I'm totally sold, and I plan on applying to residency in OBGYN.
However, I got back my overall grade for the clerkship - a "High Pass" - and was less than thrilled. While my evaluations were SPARKLING (best the Clerkship Director has seen), my shelf exam score was, well, not. The sum, overall, equated to a "high" HP.
Will the "HP" sink my chances at matching at a top program?
Other information: Top 25 med school; 230s on Step 1; involved in a number of volunteer groups in and around the area (STD counseling, LGBT health, Volunteer Clinic); received a perfect 50/50 mix of HPs (Medicine (Inpatient), OBGYN, Neuro) and Hs (Surgery, Medicine (Outpatient), Peds, Psych) in third-year Clerkships; began research with a Repro Endo doc; plan on completing electives/sub-Is in GYN-ONC and REI.
Forgive me if this question has been asked before! & thank you all so much in advance 🙂
