Their mommy and daddy told them that if they got straight A’s and played the violin, they’d get in anywhere. As someone who is attending an elite institution, (I had to interview to get in) you also have to have a personality. Likability is essential. Most of them are robots.

OOOOKKKKKAAAAAAYYY... THANK YOU CVM. This is some VERY vital backstory, so she had a run in with the same police the week before. So he was targeting her... this is why he drew his gun that fast, he was READY to kill her long time.

And there it is. A person in the 95th percentile nationally is now declared lacking in “merit” because someone else scored in the 99th percentile. This is exactly the reductionist ideology many of us in medicine reject. You are no longer distinguishing between qualified and unqualified. You are constructing a caste system inside the extreme right tail of human performance and then pretending the tiny numerical differences between extraordinarily gifted people fully determine future physician quality. Medicine learned long ago that they do not. The irony is extraordinary: the same people who insist medicine is about “merit” keep defining merit so narrowly that judgment, communication, leadership, resilience, professionalism, empathy, trust, composure under pressure, and clinical decision-making barely count at all. The body does not care what percentile you scored in organic chemistry when the operating room suddenly becomes quiet. And this is the part he cannot seem to process: a student scoring in the 95th percentile nationally would rank above the average admissions metrics of most medical schools in America, including many schools producing excellent physicians every year. Yet he speaks as though such applicants are academically suspect because others scored slightly higher on a standardized exam. This man does not understand what makes a doctor. He understands numerical sorting, prestige signaling, and hierarchy. Medicine is far more complicated than that. And yes, predictably, his response will be to call anyone racist who refuses to believe that tiny percentile differences among extraordinarily gifted human beings fully determine future physician quality.

Affirmative action has been eliminated YET y'all still can't get into these schools and you still think Black people are the reason why you're not being let in🤷🏿‍♂️ The fact that y'all don't have the courage to attack legacy admissions tells us all there is to this story

the theory that men marry whoever happens to be in their life when they’re finally ready for marriage feels true sometimes, especially when you see them get married then still go out and cheat.

I disagree with the Department of Justice going after Yale School of Medicine over DEI admissions policies and arguing that objective metrics like GPA and MCAT scores should dominate admissions decisions. The evidence does not support the idea that standardized test scores alone identify the best physicians. The MCAT predicts performance on other multiple-choice exams reasonably well. What MCAT scores do NOT predict are clinical judgment, communication, bedside skill, or physician performance. Put another way: doctors who test well tend to do well on examinations. But test scores do not predict how well they care for patients in clinics, hospitals, surgery, or real-world medicine. Meanwhile, more diverse physician workforces are associated with better preventive care, greater trust, improved access, and lower mortality in underserved communities. There is no objective evidence that excluding minority applicants within a reasonable score range improves patient outcomes. We need minority physicians in this country, and we have the data to prove why. So when people insist that “objective measures” alone should determine admission into medicine — while ignoring the evidence about what actually improves patient care — I increasingly see that argument as less about merit and more about preserving exclusion under the comforting language of statistics. "Equality feels like oppression to those who are privileged"

The crazy part about this Yale thing is that it just shows folks are going to complain about black people whether they meet the metric or not. It’s sad but not surprising. Through this whole thing we figured out that Yale admits about 10 black students per year. We also learned the median GPA and MCAT of black students admitted to Yale was a 3.88 and 518 MCAT. (These are insanely good scores for anyone. ) For those of you that don’t know Median means half have higher half have lower. Therefore 5 of out of the 10 or 50% had a HIGHER GPA and MCAT than 3.88 and 518. Hopefully the merit crew can all agree without question on their admission. Now, about the 5 that had lower. Many would argue as they have in my comments for the last 3 days “these are the people taking Someone else’s spot” But is that true compared to the data from the rest of the class? This table here shows the latest available data showing MCAT and GPA of all accepted students at Yale. It shows that of those accepted 60 had greater than a 518 MCAT and 56 had less than 518. So 52% had above and 48% had below a 518. Remember the split was 50/50 for black students. This is not a statistically significant difference in entrance standards. Nearly half of Yale’s entering class that year had an MCAT of less than 518. Only 5 out of the 56 who did were black. The other 51 were white students, Asian students etc. There were 10 students who applied with > 518 who didn’t receive admission. Why is the merit of the 51 from those groups who did get admissions not being called into question. Why is nobody saying that they stole someone else’s seat. Why is it that the merit calculator only comes out when the student is black student whether they reached that 95 percentile mark or not. Why are they only ones being scrutinized? Thats what I have an issue with. Either we scrutinize every student that got in below that mark, all 56 of them, or we admit the scrutiny was never really about merit. You have to Pick one. The reality is the admissions process is about so much more than just MCAT and GPA. If someone writes in your letter of recommendation that you’re the rudest most pompous person they’ve ever come in contact with you’re not going to get in. If you cannot hold a conversation in an interview and you are extremely awkward, you are not going to get in. physicians have to be smart yes but they also should be personable,compassionate, professional , empathetic and if you can’t show that through your letters, your activities, your personal statement, your interview because all you can do well is answer multiple-choice questions you are not going to get in and this goes for everyone black white whatever. A 528 means nothing if you can’t look a scared patient in the eye and make them feel safe. Admissions committees know that. Patients know that. The only people who don’t seem to know it are the ones counting other people’s scores instead of building their own résumés.

Black people are 13-15% of the American population with only around 27% of those over the age of 25 even having a bachelor's degree. But someone all 10 niggas that get into the Ivy League are causing Asians (grossly overrepresented) to miss out? Eat a bag a dicks.
