hey guys quick question, is it true their clinicals are graded? I saw this on MSAR I think but haven't been able to find it anywhere else and wanted to confirm. Thanks !
 
I emailed admissions to ask a question and they responded that they have already had waitlist movement and the class remains steady :(

They had an info session a few weeks ago detailing the curriculum changes that they're implementing next year. For context, they're going to use a 3 phase curriculum, with Phase 1 (M1 - M 2.5), Phase 2 (M2.5 - M3), and Phase 3 (M4).

In the info session, they said that Phase 1 is Pass/Fail, Phase 2 is Pass/High Pass/Honors, and Phase 3 is Pass/Fail. I talked to a current M1 about the Pass/High Pass/Honors, and she said that it is not awarded on a curve, so if everyone earned High Pass then everyone would get it. I'm not sure what MSAR says since I no longer have it or if they previously used grades for clinical, but it seems they're trying to shift to emphasize holistic grading and lessen the focus on specific grades.
