Two digit USMLE score is not percentile

[europeman]

I think a lot of people incorrectly think their two digit USMLE score is a percentile. On my interview trail, even interviewers were under that impression. They should get rid of that two digit number!

thoughts?


update:

sorry for posting this twice... i originally thought i posted the other day but went back to check didn't see it and incorrectly though it must not have went through. apparently it did. sorry.

Yeah.

Why are you posting this twice? Its already being discussed here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=495030

I know, I'm being "mean" again.

We know this already!

Why a separate thread for this?

And why in the surgery forum? Most of us here are already residents and could give two poops about the USMLE at this point.
