Hi, so I was wondering how necessary it is to get honors in third year if one wishes to match derm? I know that it obviously helps, but if one were to get the next grade down from honors in every rotation, would that shut one out?
I go to an average school where I got almost all honors the first 2 years and >240 on Step I but so far this year I can't seem to honor any of my rotations and I'm on my third one now. I have a really strong knowledge base but since the shelf exams don't count at my school, the fact that I've scored >90 on both exams doesn't help me at all. I'd like some honest feedback so I don't waste a lot of effort doing research and applying if I'm SOL. Thanks
