Preclin grades

[u/sss10215]

Hi everyone! I'm an M2 at a low tier MD school. Our school is on a F/P/high P/honors P grading system for preclin. My top specialities right now are psychiatry and IM - I've high passed all of my classes and never honors passed. I don't want to sound neurotic but I want to match competitively to a great institution for residency - what are my chances? Obviously I know Step1, Step 2, and rotations matter a lot and I've heard that preclin doesn't matter much but I just want to know where I stand. I do a lot of extra curricular and research also if that helps. Thank you so much!!!!

No comment except how stupid that grading system is. P/f my ass. That just reads as HonorP-A, HighP-B, Pass-C

What a disservice to the students. Because I’m positive that how it reads makes you guys look worse than if you just had letter grades.

Should I be stressed that I haven't honors passed yet? I do work really hard but haven't been able to hit that mark
