preclinical grades vs. boards

Would PDs look more highly upon good preclinical grades or good board scores. In other words, would a high board score negate the lack of honors in first 2 years. I know both are important but I am wondering what the relative importance is in the overall package when applying for GS.

Thanks.

Board scores are always more important than pre-clinical grades. But a nice way to a good board score is to do well in your pre-clinical courses.
