Can we start a list of true pass/fail DO schools? I found the AACOM spreadsheet but it's been very inaccurate so far. I'll think a school is P/F then at their interview find out they're not.

NYITCOM said they are P/F 70%

I'm not sure any of the DO schools are a true P/F. The closest thing I've seen is H/P/F, but don't remember which school it was

I could be wrong, but I think every school still has to rank their students. My school is pass/fail meaning you need a 70% to pass the class. We are not given A B C D F, instead every point we earn goes towards our total points earned. That effectively becomes our GPA. So even though we are a pass/fail school how well we do in each class still matters because it changes our rank. In fact every point is more critical in our system because someone with a B at 84% is ranked lower than someone with a B at 85%. With how competitive med school is 1% could drop you 15 rank spots and gaining 1% could raise you 30 spots.

I don't think any school just gives a P and F and ignores percentage/points because they have to rank you. I'm guessing on this though I could be wrong.
 
WesternU is H/P/F

PCOM is just numbers. Ex.85. On our transcripts it literally just writes our raw percentile
 
Was at the NSUCOM interview last week and according to them they may switch to a P/F system next year. They did not elaborate on a rankings system, however
 
RVU is P/F, cutoff at 70%. You can honor at 90% and higher.
But you do get a private ranking.

This is Western. H is 90% and P is 70%. This changes during clinical years when they add High Pass into the mix. It's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, pre-clinical is now H/HP/P/F, so essentially graded.
 
OU-HCOM preclinical is P/F with 70% and higher being a P, no honors or high pass or anything like that. From my understanding, they do internally rank and it will be noted if you're in the top 10(?) percent of the class but otherwise your rank is not disclosed or mentioned (any other students feel free to correct me if this is inaccurate, this is just what I have heard).
