How Vijay Got Into Medical School

Not sure whether GPA's and MCAT scores determine whether or not a doctor is lousy, but accepting inferior applicants over others in a field as important as healthcare seems a bit backwards.

But then again with atrocities going on like gays hypothetically being denied pizza catering at their weddings it must take a backseat for the time being

You mean the subject of negatively portraying African Americans that has been the underlying theme of many of your posts for the last decade? In the words of Harvey Pack, I'll take an 'El Paso'.

And Asian Americans have always enjoyed the free ride? Even when they were slaving on the railroads and their brief visits in the interment camps?

I did not mean to imply that there aren't some really good doctors out there that didn't get great grades and didn't go to the top med schools. And I'm sure there are some lousy doctors who were excellent students and who went to the best schools. There certainly would not be a perfect correlation between how good of a student a person was and how good of a doctor they are.

There certainly wouldn't be a perfect correlation but I'm sure there is a relatively high correlation. If I knew that a certain doctor only got into medical school because of affirmative action, I would be extremely unlikely to go to that doctor. There is a small chance that I would go. The doctor would have had to have been highly recommended to me by people I really trust.
