transferring to AUC

[timex]

Hi guys, I am looking to transfer into AUC for clinicals. I just have a few questions.

Are there any major issues you guys are having with this school.

Second, when you guys get a clinical grade is it pass fail a numical grade?

I am looking to do an MBA after med school (as I do posses business experience and am a mature student) and will need numbers on the transcript, is this possible?

As well if I arrange my own rotations for clerkship is that a problem?

If I arrange my own electives is that a problem?

You can't arrange your own core clinicals, but you can arrange your own electives i think. For the clinical grades, the transcript only shows pass/fail/honor.

On your evaluation, is there any way that you can have the numbers released. IE. because I want to do an MBA before residency.

I don't believe that they can release number grades. I believe the only number grades given are your shelf scores? If I were you, I'd do residency first. You may run into problems matching if you take time off like that. Plus, remember that after graduation you will eventually have to take USMLE Step 2 and 3. The longer you are out of medicine, the more you forget and these tests are NOT easy. Just some things to keep in mind.

There isn't a space on your evaluation where they write in number grades at all ?

You've asked your question, and the students who have an answer (quite possibly because they know) have told you. If you want some more current, or possibly actual information, you're going to have to contact the school itself.
