Hello, everyone. I don't want to share my GPA on here but it isn't amazing. With residency placement being around 97-100% each year depending on the school, I was wondering what is considered a low GPA for residency directors? Is 2.6 GPA ok? 2.8 GPA? 3.0 GPA? Where is the general cutoff? I know schools differ and all that.
Rumor says as much as 50% of our class has under a 3.0, but I have no way to verify that. Under my personal experience, I know many that are on the 3.0 border, but I couldn't give an accurate number.
I'm not worried about class rank as much because I should be in an ok place there. Although its hard to say because I don't know what it is lol. How do I know what my class rank is?
For example, if I ended up with a GPA between 2.75-2.99, are my residency options much less limited because its less than 3.0? Is 3.0 a magic cutoff? When would one be worried about having too low of a GPA for residencies?
