And then there's this troubling spectre:

No empirical data exists about the current prevalence of legacy policies or practices in medical school, and we found only one peer-reviewed article that explored the issue from a theoretical perspective. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that legacy practices in medical school admissions are common, if also vaguely troublesome. For example, several Colleges of Medicine advertise special programs (here and here) or guaranteed interviews for legacy students, while simultaneously noting that legacy status does not factor into the likelihood for acceptance into the medical school. This paradox exemplifies the problem: a complex push-pull between the desire to preserve medicine’s honorable traditions while at the same time fulfilling contemporary commitments to equity and fairness.

How many qualified people go to off-shore medical schools because their stellar grades still don't get them admitted to US schools?

Not to many. I have only run into 2 or 3. I bet fewer people do that than were denied when a candidate with lesser grades was taken over them. I worked with a guy that went to Guadalajara and a guy that went in the Caribbean and that is all I can remember so they aren't all that common. But they still have to pass the USMLE to become licensed to practice in the US.
 
I haven't had a white male doctor in over 20 years except for a chiropractor. Screw the MCAT, raise the academic requirements and make it harder to GRADUATE, and then make it harder to get board certified. Anyone ever taken an MCAT? I just took a 10-question sample test and got 3 right, so I'm assuming anyone taking it for real studies their asses off for at least 4 years. Don't change that, but I would tell them if they DIDN'T study like they had to take some kind of test, they wouldn't make it past the freshman year.

The Revolution cares little for competence and merit....just look at who they picked for POTUS and Vice POTUS.

Liberals lie about everything. You tell us men can get pregnant and math is racist and serial felon george floyd was a saint. That means all your numbers on black intelligence are inflated. When you say the black IQ is 85 that means 65 though lord knows, 85 is horrible enough.

AI is getting more and more sophisticated, I wonder how many doctors will needed in a generation or so? Pathology and radiology spring to mind as areas where AI could replace humans almost completely.

The power of the Kente cloth! What makes me laugh is that if the GOP used that they'd be accused of cultural appropriation and racism. Why were Dems using something that's usually reserved for Ashanti royalty?

In times like these there are only two options:

1) Laughing

2) Crying

Radiology isn't only reading X rays there is interventional radiology also. I doubt AI will ever replace Anesthesiologists either or Surgeons.

Really? I also know two who went to the Caribbean. What are the odds that two strangers on random forum would have this experience? Maybe it's more common than we think.

Not surgeons or indeed anesthetists but certainly radiology and pathology will need far fewer humans. Think of the revolution that's occurred in aviation, planes can fly themselves and even land without human intervention.

Yup - it's all just talk. And who cares anyway?. Legacy admissions are not about race. THINK, you miserable white-hating racist.

You have to be either drunk or one of the dumbest bigoted trolls to date.

Who careS? YOU DO, YOU SIMPLETON! That's why you started this thread accompanying your usual pointy hooded hysteria.

And do you understand what are the requirements for a "legacy" admission? Obviously not, so here's primer for your willfully ignorant ass:

https://www.americanprogress.org/ar...dmissions-time-higher-education-institutions/


https://www.theedadvocate.org/defining-a-legacy-student/


Is there any reason to keep legacy admissions? Elite universities often say legacy admissions are necessary to keep alumni donations high. Harvard College's dean of admissions, William Fitzsimmons, has repeatedly defended Harvard's preferential treatment of the children of alumni and donors.

The "passing" score varies by institution based on how selective their admissions policies are.

And even those numbers have been massaged. The actual black scores are much much lower.

Prove it, you cross burning cretin. I dare you.

My best friend in medical school was there on a full ride scholarship . He had been offered an interview at Harvard but he did not take the offer. I did not get a scholarship and I did not get an interview at Harvard. I finished in the top ten percent of my class He finished in the bottom 20%. The medical school had a free tutoring program for students who were at risk of failing a class. The school hired students with at least a 90 average in a course to tutor students with a 79 or lower average. I tutored him in biochemistry and anatomy and physiology and a few other classes. We got him through but it was close at times..

His mother was from Spanish parents who worked for a silver mine in Mexico. His mother was born in Mexico and had dual citizenship in Spain and Mexico. That made my friend, who is white as I am, half Hispanic. My college GPA and MCAT score was considerably higher than his and I also have a Masters degree that he did not have. The reason he got accepted into medical school and got an interview offer by Harvard was he is 50% Hispanic. BTW He didn't go to the Harvard interview because he is a petroleum geologist and put together oil leases to help support his family during medical school. So he needed to be in Texas not Boston.

Man, you must have smoked some serious weed to spew this little tale of yours. Now, go buy that hooker and finish out the day. >pew-pew-pew<

They set me up with people the education system had failed, but the college let them in for that student loan money. I had literally 3-4 people that got it from the tutoring and many that did not. Somehow my dumbass thought I'd have a majority success rate going in. :palm:
It didn't happen like that. :(
Not at all. I think I might be a pessimist. My methods were good, too. It's just that some people aren't college material.
To try your ass off like that and fail is very disappointing and then you still have to worry about keeping up your own grades.
I only did that one semester.

that fantastic tales you jokers tell each other is extraordinary. Given ALL the baloney you've shoveled regarding various topics on various threads in the last few years, you'd have to be about 100 to have experienced it all. Classic. Keep it up, as I like a good yarn now and then.
