@rdunsheath @onechanakya @ProfDBernstein You’ve been brainwashed into believing black people get full rides everywhere and come from wealthy families. Lol sad box you think in.

Except the black is less intelligent, has a lower IQ, and doesn’t study assiduously like the Asian, and in real life the black in pre med isn’t working, he’s on a full ride scholarship and he’s from a wealthy family while the Asian is more likely to be from a poor family and working part time.

The problem is that if you don’t believe that GPA and MCAT scores should dominate admissions decisions, why do they dominate admissions decisions for whites and Asians but not for others? Why not just take anyone who meets a certain minimum threshold by lottery?

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.

@DrCasteelEM @firstamongstmen @Ambavalent2964 They’ve clearly never heard of residency or have any idea on how it works.
English
@firstamongstmen @Ambavalent2964 I’m correct, you lose.

If you can’t understand how an applicant with a 507 MCAT who came from poverty, first to go to college, working while in school, and has no financial help is much more impressive and implies far better work ethic and perseverance than someone with a 512, rich parents, MCAT prep course, and never had a job…you’re a fucking dumbass.

@avidseries @drterrysimpson Ive seen this data before and the website you got it from did not site the aamc website correctly at all. Go on the actual website and the data points are different for that time frame.
English
The problem is that across medical schools in the US, black applicants are not typically admitted within "a reasonable score range" (see below) — their MCAT's, GPAs, and especially science GPAs, are well below those of Asians and whites, on average.
And so, unsurprisingly, they drop out at greater rates, tend to graduate toward the bottom of the class, and then don't make it through residency at the same rate as Asians and whites.
How bad is the problem? One in four black med students score below average on the MCATs, while only 3% of white and Asian students do. If this grotesque imbalance existed with the races reversed, you would likely be incensed, no?
Instead of engaging in this decades-old systemic racism against whites and Asians, admissions departments could have admitted more qualified applicants who would have had a greater chance of becoming MDs.

@smonter42 @deyoaj Yea so those aren’t the minimum qualifications. Those stats that I posted are exceeding those qualifications, meaning they are the most qualified. The min. qualifications for any MD medical school is a 3.0 GPA and 500 MCAT…so what else deems someone qualified enough?
English
@juanisha_ @deyoaj No it’s not. Meeting the minimum qualifications and being the most qualified are not the same thing.
It’s amazing how many leftists pretend not to understand things making actual meaningful discourse impossible.
English
@smonter42 @deyoaj Tom if you’re getting accepted into ANY IVY LEAGUE the stats are obviously being met. Actually, no ivy will look at an applicant with anything < 3.6-3.7 gpa and a 520 MCAT they’ll just throw your application away. So “less qualified” is a laughable statement.
English
They’re upset because they’re still letting in people that are less qualified because of their skin color which is racism. Quite frankly race shouldn’t be even considered in the admissions process they should strip everybody’s name off of the documents give them a number and evaluate them solely on the basis of what’s in their application.
English
@KarateKid23mj_ @deyoaj Whole time it’s literally the opposite. We dont have mommy and daddy to pay or legacy our way through the doors.
English
@deyoaj There is a huge systemic perception that White people have and it’s simply that Black people are not smart. So whenever they are in the same room they assume it was because of some preferential treatment and the Black people don’t belong
English
@Lilyloveesu @deyoaj Yess! there are so many hoops to jump through just to even apply! You have secondary applications filled w/ 5+ mini essay prompts and HOPEFULLY you’ll get interviews IF they think you’re an interesting enough candidate on paper. They gotta save the tears for something useful.
English
@juanisha_ @deyoaj Also, they’re assuming they can get in just because they have high scores 😭It’s much more to it than that.

@iamrichygold @ceraliza He only came back after his image was being ridiculed for being a deadbeat not because he had a change of heart.
English
Yes he messed up but he came back didn't he?
Not justifying his actions but we've seen worse
5 years later is better than 25 years later..
Yes punish him, give some harsh treatment but you will still be glad he wants a part of the kids life at the early stage.
He messed up but coming back is a sign of a repentant heart even though he came back when it was convenient for him.
You might not like my take but it's the truth...

A girl i know got pregnant at 20. Her boyfriend begged her not to “ruin his future” and disappeared soon after
Thing is… abortion had just been banned where they lived.
So while she was forced to carry the pregnancy, he kept posting beach trips, buying new stuffs, and telling people he was “too young to settle down.”
She dropped out of uni because morning sickness got so bad. Her parents started raising the baby with her while she went to work.
Five years later he suddenly showed up demanding “shared custody” after getting a stable job and realizing people judged him for abandoning his child.
Her dad looked him dead in the eye and said…

We have spent years being told it is “just a period problem” while our skin, our weight, our mood, and our energy were all falling apart. Today, the medical world finally admitted you were right.

A man's desire to become a father is always paid for by a woman with her body, her health, her career, and her freedom.
But when a woman expects a comfortable life, she is somehow shamed for wanting too much

@LukeDashjr @elephants12948 @Eric__Porter @AEc55183 @MibshaD So what successful procedures or treatments have they used to treat an ectopic pregnancy?
English
English
Just so we're clear: the pregnancy that ends up in the wrong spot, like the fallopian tube? The one that will NEVER turn into a baby and will rupture and kill your wife, daughter, or sister? Terminating that fetus is also an abortion, and they want to ban those, too.
