I have just started my 3rd year, and so I am running into 3rd year grading for the first time. I did well on Step 1 245+, did decent in the clinical years 25-50%, have quite a few publications (5 including posters…none ophtho yet). And I feel like am a good clinical student, but no rock star.
My issue is that my school's grading scale is pretty restrictive in terms of honor's and even for high pass it is pretty tough. I know it is much harder to get honor's here than at many other schools.
So now I am beginning to worry about my 3rd year grades. If I get mostly Pass this year will it hurt my chances to match ophtho. Will it limit my opportunities?
