[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain why Asians have to score higher than everyone else on the MCAT and have to have significantly higher GPAs than certain groups in order to get into medical school:

It is literally using race to hold people to different standards.  Which is racism. [/quote]

There is not one school in the country that is saying Asians must have higher scores and GPAs in order to be admitted. Because that WOULD be racism. You're just making that assumption based on others with lower numbers being admitted. But the reason they're admitted is because they offer something else the college values, not because they're not Asian.[/quote]

They don't have to say, but the numbers clearly show that their actual actions are stating otherwise.  Asians have to score higher on the MCAT and have a significantly higher GPA.  It is clearly based on their race. [/quote]

So you think entire teams of admissions officers, plus all the other officials who are aware of their policies, are in on a secret plot to deny admission to Asians? And not one member of those teams has the integrity to come forth and speak the truth, which would lead to a very quick loss in court? If so, you're worse than QAnon.[/quote]

Not PP. I think admissions departments are under tremendous pressure to admit diverse classes. As long as admissions is zero sum, that means that more qualified applicants who are not the correct race get denied admission in favor of less qualified applicants [/quote]
