The fact that the associate dean keeps telling us that in the whole scheme of things for getting into residency, grades are at the bottom of the pile.
FINE, be that as it may be, first year medical students don't have much else to shoot for since boards are still a year away. If I want to make my grades my top priority now, whats the ****ing problem? I mean telling kids that kind of stuff is like a license to slack off. And it makes those people that are getting good grades feel like they are doing it for nothing, which I hardly believe.
I would like to think theres a correlation between ones grades and ones COMLEX/USMLE scores.
I dont really have a question or anything but I just wanted to see if this would rub anyone else the wrong way.
Back to studying for my three tests and one quiz this week (no its not finals)
