the last sentence where there is one word that they change based on which of the five quintiles you are in

I guess this one word is what I referred to as the “(secret) code”.

I remember reading somewhere that the 1st and 2nd year grades are not recorded anywhere by DS’s school. Should I believe what they said?

Some competitive students still compete aggressively by other way when the preclinical grades do not count, e.g., by doing research and receiving research related awards - just a continuation of their “research focused” life in their premed years.

In one year (not DS’s class year), the school found the need to send an email to all students to ask them to attend the preclinical classes in MS2 because what they learn is useful when they get to the clinical years. I guess it was the months before STEP-1.
