HMS administrators said the change in the grading system at Hopkins is not going to affect the number of applicants to HMS.
“We have no reason to believe the change in grading system at Johns Hopkins will affect the number of applications to Harvard Medical School,” said Mohan D. Boodram, HMS director of admissions and financial aid.
Boodram said the HMS admissions office has no indication that grading systems are a major factor among students in choosing a medical school.
“Medical students are very busy, and such a [letter] grading system gives them more stress,” he said.
“Every year we survey applicants who are accepted to the medical school but choose to go elsewhere. We have never seen anyone list grading system as an issue,” he said.
