[quote=Anonymous]I was reading about a medical program where they needed to raise diversity for impression and grants, they accepted lots of Hispanics and Black kids, ones with high GPA and MCAT declined as they are in demand so get accepted into their desirable programs. Ones who enrolled were low GPA and low MCAT. Majority failed and dropped out so they had to change their diversity policy and focused on only accepting URMs who are not far from average merit applicant's GPA and MCAT. Less URMs were admitted but they were competitive and performed well. Later they started asking low stat applicants to do one or two year post baccalaureate and retake MCAT and apply again, it increased retention rate. Colleges can do something similar for math.
