Hey everyone,
I am 3rd year student, strongly considering Med-Peds. Although I received honors in medicine (and several other honors and near-honors grades) and have excellent Step 1 scores, I only received a pass for my peds rotation. Our grade is determined by our written clinical evaluations and a written exam (not the shelf). Unlike all of our other rotations, we are required to get a minimum score both on our clinical evals and the exam to honor the course. I had fantastic clinical evals. Unfortuntaly I missed the honors cutoff by 2 questions on the written exam. How much will this hurt me when applying?
