I think if you are a fresh graduate then it may be important to them but if you are an old-timer then they will look for your experience, that what you were doing since graduation.

How could a PD assess your U/G score if you are a FMG? Considering foreign med schools often have a different standard than US med schools, it is just very difficult to compare, eg how do you compare someone who is top 10% in an UK school to someone who is top 1% in India?

The only subjective assessment criteria for FMG are USMLE score, LORs, Research, past experience like a phd degree and more. I’ve seen a list once.
