@ZoeCoombes all great neighborhoods on planet earth got built before zoning laws got invented.
These medical school data by race/ethnicity are so damning and concerning that the AAMC (@AAMCtoday) stopped publishing them about 10 years ago and scrubbed all past such reports from its websites. During the 2013-2016 period (the last time these data were reported), a Black medical school applicant with average academic credentials (GPA and MCAT score) was ~4X more likely to be accepted to medical school than an Asian applicant with an average GPA/MCAT score. And nearly 3X more likely than the average White applicant. The data are troubling because they show that US medical schools prioritize racial diversity over merit and academic excellence, putting patients and the public at risk of inferior medical care in the pursuit of diversity (except Asians).
