I'm considering a medical school that goes by a strictly P/F system, no hidden rankings, etc. I don't consider myself to be a gunner, but do think I'll be gearing towards a more competitive residency..hence my post in this forum.
I'm curious if a med school that has such a grading system, tending not to distinguish outstanding student from those that are marginally passing, will limit my competitiveness to enter a difficult specialty? I mean, will solid board scores, research experience, and recs carry me through fine or will I have to work that much harder, or do that much better in those areas in order to compete with someone who excelled at a school with a more stratified grading system? thanks for your help.
