Dean’s List
The Dean’s List will be calculated at the end of each academic year for OMSI and OMSII. The Dean’s List is comprised of the top ten (10) percent of the OMSI and OMSII classes. The Dean’s List notation will be listed after the final term of each academic year. The notation will read: Dean’s List.
Class Rank
Class rank at KansasCOM will be calculated for OMS I through OMS III cumulatively. Scores from the first term of medical school will be excluded from class rank. Rank will be reported in the following manner:
- Top 10% of the class
- Top 25% of the class
- Top 50% of the class
The top 10% performers of each module will be highlighted.
For students who retake a quiz or test due to initial failure, regardless of final score, 70% will be the score utilized in the rank calculations. Retaking a quiz/test is not permitted purely for the purpose of a higher score. KansasCOM ranks students by percentile distributions only.
The class rank for the top 50% and above will be noted on the MSPE (Medical Student Performance Evaluation). The rank on the MSPE for students below 50% will show the student has successfully completed all coursework.
How is Class Rank calculated?
OMS I Students: Class rank is calculated by multiplying the percentage earned in the course by the number of credit hours of the course for a weighted average. Please note that for OMSI, Term 1 is not included in the rank calculation.
OMS II Students: Class rank is calculated by multiplying the percentage earned in teh course by the number of credit hours of the courses for a weighted average. OMS I and OMS II averages are added together for a cumulative rank. All three terms are included in the calculation.
OMS III Students: Class rank is calculated by multiplying the percentage earned in teh course by the number of credit hours of the courses for a weighted average. OMS I, OMS II, and OMS III averages are added together for a cumulative rank. All three terms are included in the calculation.
