A. Pass/Fail grading at the Pritzker School of Medicine is both a true pass/fail for years 1, 2, and 4. Third year—the clerkships—is a “graded” year with the grades of Honors, High Pass, Pass, Low Pass, and Fail. All four years are uncurved. You are evaluated on your master of the material, not your mastery compared to others in the class. These qualities—pass/fail and uncurved grading—result in a highly collaborative learning environment.
