Number of applications is up but acceptances have steadily increased. Does not say anything about the most important piece which is the number of *qualified* applicants. Increased apps does not necessarily mean increased competition if most of those people are not well qualified which is usually the case.[/quote]
But, thousands of rejected people are “qualified.” There still are not enough seats, but that is largely Congress’ fault. [/quote]

What makes you think that everyone who wants to be a doctor and is qualified should get a seat? This isn’t public kindergarten. Schools are allowed to select the best applicants. It’s better for everyone to keep quality high.[/quote]

The problem is is that they are NOT selecting the best applicant--they are selecting for various other reasons--[/quote]

Says you? Look, like it or not there is a lot of testing and lot of grading and a lot of standardized testing in medical education training and certification. You need to be able to pass that bar well to be a doctor, period. First you need the numbers. And you also want people who are going to advance the field. Sent After that criterion is met they can look for wonderful humanitarians and good listeners.[/quote]

The MCAT isnt even that important anymore.They want either robots or optics---that is the issue. They want easily controlled students.[/quote]

This person gets it. [/quote]

thanks![/quote]
