Class Rankings?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I know that western is a pass/fail school but are there hidden class rankings that come into play at any point (ie on our MPSE or transcript)? Thanks!

 

Never heard of a class ranking, don't know how they'd develop one given what gets spit out from our evaluations (particularly in clerkship), and didn't see one on my sample MSPR.

I'm sure all pass/fail schools keep track of the marks and evaluations of their students. They emphasize pass/fail so that students no longer have the pressure to obtain a high mark on a test. They want them to actually know their stuff rather than know how to take tests. This also makes students more willing to help each other rather than having competition between each other. If they will give out an award to the top student in the med class, they will do it discreetly! So yeah, there are rankings in pass/fail schools. They are just not revealed to everyone!
