How Do I Match? A Survey Study on the Impact of Step 1 Becoming Pass/Fail
While students mostly prefer P/F scoring, there were differences of opinion between those going into HCS and LCS. Students indicated that those who have financial means are at a distinct advantage as they can afford to utilize a research year to distinguish their applications. Future efforts should be made to address student concerns and unintended consequences of the scoring change to create an equitable system.
