Assuming you have all of the other ingredients, is it okay if you only Pass OB, Peds, and FM? I would assume that students who otherwise have great Step, rsrch, and do well on away rotations shouldn't have any trouble
I only passed two of my rotations, OBGYN and Gen Surg. I got asked twice about the gen surg pass on the trail and had a thought out explanation for it. No one cared or mentioned the OBGYN score. I still matched into a top 25 program on doximity's rankings.
So yes you can get away with it, but I do think that those passing grades were a part of what stopped me from matching into an even better program. Still in a great place that I love, but to match at top programs a single pass can be what separates you when everyone interviewing there is nearly perfect.
No place will care as long as everything else looks good.
For matching anywhere? Probably not a huge deal. But the all "H"s across the board on our spreadsheets are hard to ignore, and those applicants tend to be better overall.
How do programs perceive ABCD systems? Does minus vs. plus make a difference, or in general are As = honors, Bs = high pass etc. at most places?
Same. The app review is wholistic. I passed each of these, only honoring internal medicine and surgery (go figure). While I only high passed OB (due to the shelf), the comments from the OB attendings were spectacular and it got mentioned in almost every interview. YMMV but in my case it mattered more what they said about me than what my grade was. I matched at a Doximity top 10.
The fuck kind of interviews are you going on if a comment from your OB rotation was brought up
I only interview at places that do whacks from fornix to cervix
