Hi everybody,
I was wondering how bad remediating a course looks on a residency application?
I am a MS2 and I am in the process of studying for Step 1. I have completed all of my coursework for the first 2 years. My school is on a graded system. I have received over an 85% in every class except my clinical medicine class. Here's the kicker. I more than passed all of the quizzes and tests in the class. I failed the final paper. As a result, I have a conditional grade and they are making me redo the paper. After I redo the paper, I will receive a pass with a note that I had to remediate.
I have no idea what I did wrong on the paper but I do have a meeting with the course director to discuss. It doesn't seem like my grade will be changed though.
The clinical medicine class was always made out to be the easy class. How ironic? I feel like residency program directors are going to look at my application and think I am socially inept.
Is this going to ruin my chances at a good residency? (not sure of specialty yet but I want to be in NYC)
