hi,
i remember that in undergrad everyone wanted to get "A's" so that they would get into the professional schools that they wanted to....therefore, marks were really important

however, is that significant in medical school? Does it matter if you pass with "A", "B", or "C"?

as well, it seems that marks only matter for the USMLE tests....

please let me know
thanks!

thanks!\basic sci grades dont matter too much but clinical grades do a lot. USMLE counts a lot but if you dont learn your basic sci youre stuck there. Youre not correct that all that matters is usmle. aside frmo tha, letters of rec, clinical grades, research and performance counts. And getting ERAS in EARlY( Not just on time).
