I was wondering if anyone knows if our shelf exam grades are included on our USMLE transcript that is sent out to ERAS.

At my school we only took shelf exams for 3rd year clerkships: medicine, surgery, ob/gyn, etc... our scores were only used in the determination of our final clerkship grade: honors/satisfactory/unsatisfactory. The numerical score is not included in our transcripts; however, if one passes clinically yet receives an 'unsatisfactory' grade then it would be known that the student failed the shelf exam. This would be evident on the transcript. (So when a student with a previously failing score on the shelf successfully passes, a Satisfactory with an asterix would appear on his/her transcript.)
