Hi everyone!
I wanted to create a comprehensive list of all pass/fail schools, so far I only know of:


Harvard University
UCLA
Yale University

Lets collectively make a list!

Do you mean just the pre-clinical years are pass/fail? If so I can add a few:

Boston University
Drexel
Harvard University
New York Medical College
Rutgers-RWJMS
UCLA
VCU
Yale University
 
Boston University
Drexel
Harvard University
New York Medical College
Rowland Franklin

I think it would be helpful to designate which are pass/fail without internal ranking (which might be reported in Dean's Letter and/or which might be used for AOA purposes)

Because pass/fail with internal ranking is definitely different from pass/fail without any type of ranking.

For all of the above, I am referring to preclinical grading.

Pretty sure there's an SDN Google sheet floating around with all the curricula. Would be more helpful than listing "pass-fail" schools since that term can mean a variety of things (I.e. whether there's internal ranking or not)

What is the virtue of pass/fail if the luxury of not being placed on a scale is destroyed come time for Step? Wouldn't you appreciate the pressure of the numerical grade as more pressure to prepare for Step?

No. I like being able to focus on outside interests rather than working for a grade.

Grades will encourage students to compete against classmates and you always have a pressure to do your best at the expense of other things in your life that you need to be healthy.

Step is like the MCAT where it doesnt matter how other people are doing- you just need to focus on yourself and doing your best for that month of studying

Passing takes plenty of effort. No med student is deprived of having to strenuously prepare for tests due to a lack of more grade cutoffs

Also to everyone, this list is a bit deceiving if it includes schools that rank all four years. If that's the case, whatever pass/fail system the school is effectively null and void.

Yeah I think a lot of you guys are missing the Forrest for the trees in several ways. First, the actual preclinical grades don't matter that much. Getting Honors, AOA, rankings might matter a bit. Second, many of the "pass fail" regimes have high pass, low pass, honors gradations such that it's really an ABC with different letters. Third, if you are being ranked, that matters more than getting a "pass". You want your Dean to use the right adjective/superlative to telegraph that you were at the top of the class when he writes that deans letter.

So while schools may tell you they switched to pass fail systems to decrease competition and gunner issues, a lot of the time there's still ranking going on behind the scenes, people still want to honor things and make AOA, and it's all pretty illusory. Not to mention that trying to ace your classes is probably not bad preparation for the Steps to boot.

Competition isn't always a bad thing if it maximizes your potential. Looking for the easier path is probably a bad idea, and as mentioned probably fools gold here.
 
Also, even at the med schools that are graded and ranked (like Penn), go talk with students there. They will all say they are collaborative. This dichotomy that assumes grades and rank bring down the house by making everyone a cutthroat dingus is a great myth that is funny to those of us who went to a graded and ranked school. Med students are collaborative by nature. Don't believe people when they hypothesize that having grades and rank automatically makes competition fierce and scary. It does not. So few people in my class cared about honoring preclinicals, we didn't even functionally have grades on our mind. Also PDs generally don't care about your class grades as mentioned above.
 
And if grades aren't curved, then why would it matter? The only thing that would change is class rank but you'll have that in some way or other in most schools

For residency, preclinical grades are so far down the list of things that matter to PDs in every survey, it's kind of funny you guys are so focused on it, and would even factor med school decisions around it. It's probably a carry over of the undergrad mentality where high GPA is still a big deal, and P/F meant "easy". Your goal in med school is to master the material. Even if your school gives you a Pass in some schools they are keeping a behind the scenes class rank tally, to use for AOA and future deans letters. How you do on step 1 and during your clinical years are what will really get you a good residency, and you'll be in competition with respect to those things regardless. But I agree with Wolf3D on this -- it's not the grades or lack thereof that make things hard or foster cooperation. Don't buy the hype.

Just because it's pass fail doesn't mean it's easy. Friends at Duke have told me there were exams where as many as 30 people failed (perhaps some of the Duke students here can corroborate? @Australopithekus @No Limits).

For our exams, even though we are true p/f, you can't "slack off" because passing is still tough. They test you on a lot of details that you wouldn't know unless you studied really hard anyway, so "aiming for a P" (or a 70 or whatever the cutoff is) means that you have a chance of failing. Is it the end of the world if you fail an exam? No, but it's also something you should do your best to avoid. For me, I enjoy the fact that I don't have to worry about what I get while still putting forth my best effort. We took our first semester of classes with the dental students who have h/p/f and if you'll permit me a minute to brag here, I would have hit their cutoff for honors (same tests), so I don't think p/f is letting me slack off. It just removes one of the many worries from my mind and I appreciate that. For other students, this might not be a big deal. For anyone trying to decide between schools, figure out what kind of environment you think you'll fit into best and roll with it.

Many of our exams are quite difficult, and it's normal for a few students to fail, but I don't think thirty students ever failed the same exam this year. I'd guess maybe 10-15 failed our worst one. I think ~1/3 of a class failing would indicate that the exam was poorly written.

Pass/fail is a wonderful thing. I still worry about my score, but I don't feel obligated to cram until 4 a.m. before every exam. It makes life much nicer.
 
I would also like to echo the point that you should not choose a medical school based on their grading system. It should be a minor consideration at most.
 
A lot of this boils down to personal preference and can be school-dependent, but I love the P/F system. As others have stated before, I don't think it makes anyone lazy – I don't know of anyone who intentionally shoots for a 70% – but it allows for more flexibility. When I get laid up with a sinus infection a few days before the exam or go out-of-town, I don't have to worry about running myself ragged the night before, cramming the extra information necessary for an honours-calibre grade. Having things like a strict P/F system, post-match AOA, and no percentiles listed in the MSPE eases that extra bit of stress.

This gem has made many cycles around SDN, but it gives you an idea for what different schools relay in their MSPEs.

You still wouldn't care all that much if you were graded, and not many of your classmates would either. It's just not a big deal. I know many people who went to Maryland. They have H, HP, P, LP, F. Basically A/B/C/D/F. They did not feel super pressured or that their classmates were competitive dinguses. The P/F competitiveness/stress debate is mostly psychological. People in med school are collaborative by nature. Don't. buy. the. hype.

That "gem" is indeed very interesting. However, I wish the authors had clarified whether preclincal performance factored into student rankings given by each school that does use those "descriptors" (which are really just rankings).

This. Quality of clinical years is so much more important than pre-clinical, but it's pretty hard for pre-meds to get that kind of information (or to fully appreciate its importance until they're already in it).

There are so many nuanced factors in this that it would probably be very difficult. It would be helpful to have a chance to talk to a 3rd/4th year during interview day and to know what questions to ask if you do get to talk to one. Even then, it might be difficult to get the truth as many students will be trying to "sell" their school and may not be forthcoming about things they dislike. I would always ask if there was anything they didn't like about the school or anything they would change. Might still not get an honest response, but worth a shot.

One factor I'd consider is where the rotations are done. Are they all done at some institution? Does the class split up into multiple cohorts to train at different hospitals (maybe not even in the same city)? You may end up with quite a different experience despite graduating from the same school. Maybe some locations are better than others.

Another is hands-on training. Is 3rd year mostly glorified shadowing or will you be treated like an actual member of the medical team? Are there so many residents and fellows that you'll never perform a procedure? Catch a baby on OB or just be relegated to watch?

Yet another is the institution itself and the opportunities it provides. Say you want to do derm but your institution doesn't have a derm program. You don't have a "home" program that can get to know you and vouch for you come application time.

Definitely a shortcoming, but I don't think it's something most MSPEs explicitly clarify(?). Wish we had that info, though.

Very true. I believe the average med student can thrive under almost any grading format. Some are just more conducive to certain personalities/priorities. I declined a school with a grade-less format (even for clinicals) partly because I didn't think I had an independent enough drive to thrive there.

I genuinely believe the majority of my classmates would be as collaborative as they currently are under a letter graded scheme, but I would contest that med students are also perfectionists by nature. While I don't think most would sabotage others for a higher grade, I'd hazard to say many of my classmates (myself included) would be foregoing some of our extracurricular ventures in order to shoot for those sweet, sweet As – even fully knowing that preclinical grades have a minor impact on residency apps. Sad, but true. I think this is partially why my institution and others made the shift to P/F.

This is why no one grades A/B/C/D. There is too much psychological bias to erase there. Few med students would get an HP and feel it is a B. The effect is there but nowhere near as dramatic as people make it out to be. It just doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things.
