I know a similar question was asked, but what're your guys thoughts on including shelf scores >90th percentile? If they don't show up anywhere else in the app. I know they should be reflected in clinical grades, but there were some clerkships where it only accounted for 20% of the final grade, in which case I got a high pass but got 95% on the shelf. Just trying to milk any accomplishment I can think of.

I would see if you could get them in your Dean's Letter, which is where they belong.

Dude no. Seriously, come on. If they are in the dean's letter that's one thing but don't come off as a tool. On a side note, I wish our school only counted a shelf for 20%!

thanks for the advice. I was leaning toward not doing it. I can't get them in my deans letter. Only if the clerkship director directly mentioned it in my final eval. As for wishing it only counted 20%, that leaves 80% subjective eval, which I have always done good but not great on.

Do you have a Chair/Dept letter? If so, perhaps it could be included there?
