honors/pass/fail

the grading system for jefferson med is a goodbad thing. good because most people will PASS but not HONOR, and “pass” encompasses anything between a 70% and 89%. so you got a 74 in anatomy? don’t worry, the kid next to you who got a 89 has the exact same grade as you: PASS.

(although they do eventually rank/tier everyone..)

but what do you do when there’s 1 quiz and 1 test left to wrap up a course, and so far you need a 103% to honors (aka = impossible) and a 47% to pass (…i’m not THAT dumb…)?? 

mind has clearly checked out for the rest of biochem. uh oh.
