Can anyone comment on the importance of 3rd year end of rotation exams vs. your evaluation from your preceptor? I'm set on going into pediatrics, and have done well so far my first two years and boards. Third year I have been doing well on shelf exams and Honors or High Pass from my preceptor evaluations. However, during my pediatric rotation, my car died, and had to buy a new one. Between working on loans, finding a car, and having to drive 9 hours home to register the thing, I lost a lot of quality studying time, and didn't do so hot on my exam (C+ ). I did receive an honors and letter of rec from my pediatrics preceptor, though. So I'm a little worried that this grade may hurt me when applying to residency, and just wanted some thoughts or opinions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
