More data below.

Medical schools are engaged in politically correct racial and ethnic discrimination in their admissions. 
The Center for Equal Opportunity (www.ceousa.org) has documented this in studies of the University of 
Michigan, University of Maryland, and five other medical schools across the country.

    The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has sent a letter to various leading senators objecting to 
“racially discriminatory provisions” in the Senate’s health-care bill, like coercing medical schools and 
others into using racially preferential admission policies. The Commission had already noted the same 
constitutional problems in the House version.

If you graduated from a selective school, before you mail your donation, ask the board of trustees 
to disclose statistics proving they are not discriminating against Asian Americans (number of total 
applicants, number of Asian American applicants, number admitted, average grades and test scores
of those admitted, number of Asian Americans admitted, average grades and test scores of Asian 
Americans admitted).  If they refuse, what are they hiding?

7/6/09: Selling Merit Down the River
By Russell K. Nieli 
Excerpted from pages 21 and 22
http://www.nas.org/documents/Taming_the_River_2.pdf 
    The River Pilots' concern here may be misplaced, however, for even if black and
Latino students do earn substantially lower grades than whites and Asians, they may have
just as good a chance as the members of those higher-performing groups of gaining
entrance to competitive graduate and professional schools. The admissions boost for
being black at many of the most competitive law schools, medical schools, business
schools, and graduate programs is often huge -- larger even in standard deviation terms
than the undergraduate college boost -- and black undergraduates all know this. The
post-graduate boost for being Latino is less but still substantial. Mediocre grades for a
black or Latino student is not the same impediment to getting into a good graduate or
professional school as it is for a white or Asian.
    Consider, for example, medical schools. According to the American Association
of Medical Colleges, the average college GPA in the pre-med college science courses for
all whites who entered an American medical school in 2007 was 3.63, and for Asians a
near-identical 3.62. For blacks, however, it was only 3.29. This is by itself a very
significant difference but the spread of the black scores was much wider than that of
either the whites or Asians (black SD .43, white and Asian SD each .29), indicating that
significant numbers of blacks with science GPAs as low as 2.9 or 3.0 were accepted into
medical schools, scores that would virtually preclude whites or Asians. Latino science
GPAs were roughly halfway between those of the blacks and the higher-scoring whites
and Asians (3.45 mean).
    Scores on the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) tell a similar story. The
median score on the basic science part of the MCAT for a black admitted to medical
school in 2007 was equal to that of a white at only the 14th percentile of white admits, and
of an Asian at only the 10th percentile of Asian admits. In other words, 86% of whites
and 90% of Asians entering medical schools did better on the MCAT basic science
section than the median black. Once again, Latino scores were roughly halfway between
the blacks and the higher-scoring Asians and whites.20 This same pattern was shown in
earlier studies of MCAT scores. For instance, a Rand Corporation study of admissions
policies at ten medical schools in the late 1970s found a black/white gap in MCAT scores
well over a standard deviation, a Chicano/white gap slightly less than one SD. The Rand
study calculated that a black or Chicano applicant with a better then 50% chance of
admission to these ten medical schools, had that applicant been held to the same entrance
standards as whites, would have reduced his admissions chances to only about one-intwenty,
or 5%.21 From a 5% admissions chance up to a 50% or better chance as the bonus
for being black or Chicano -- can anyone imagine that this will have no effect on many
of those seeking to gain entry into the medical profession?

6/1/07 Washington Post: "At Med Schools, a New Degree of Diversity: Classes Reflect A Foreign Flavor,"
by David Brown
    The six members of Medical Team 4 have a lot in common. Each wears a white coat, has a 
stethoscope for a necklace and has stayed up late this week. They can all start an IV and work up a 
solitary lung nodule.
    They share something less obvious, too. With one exception, none has a grandparent born in the 
United States.
    Med 4 at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Northwest Washington is the new face of American
medicine. Its members happen to come from Georgetown and George Washington universities, but 
the team is indistinguishable from similar groups of young doctors and doctors-to-be at many of the 
country's 125 medical schools.
    In the past 15 years, U.S. medicine has seen a huge influx of first- and second-generation immigrants.
It follows and augments a different demographic trend that began 30 years ago with the acceptance of 
increasing numbers of women into medical schools. As a result of that earlier revolutionary change, half
of new practitioners today are women.
    The Norman Rockwell-Marcus Welby image of the American doctor -- an avuncular white man, often 
in a bow tie -- is rapidly disappearing.
    From 1980 to 2004, the fraction of medical school graduates describing themselves as white fell 
from 85 percent to 64 percent. Over that same period, the percentage of Asians increased from 
3 percent to 20 percent, with Indians and Chinese the two biggest ethnic groups.

3/21/06 Harvard Crimson: Harvard Medical School Amends Admit Policy.  Worried that practice 
was unconstitutional, school nixes panel vetting minorities
By Lawrence Holland
    In a move that brings its admissions policies in line with the rest of the University, Harvard Medical 
School (HMS) will eliminate an admissions subcommittee dedicated to applicants from under-represented 
minorities next year, according to HMS administrators.
    The announcement comes a week after HMS sent out admissions decisions to its incoming Class of 
2010, and almost three years after the Supreme Court struck down the University of Michigan's 
point-based undergraduate admissions policy in the cases of Gratz v. Bollinger and Grutter v. Bollinger.
    HMS officials acknowledged that the policy shift came in response to fears that their system could be 
viewed as unconstitutional.
    Its well-intentioned, but we've been told repeatedly by the University counsel and consultants for the 
University counsel that it is not a wise policy to maintain, said Dr. Robert J. Mayer, faculty associate 
dean for admissions at HMS, yesterday.
    Since the landmark 1978 Bakke Supreme Court decision that barred universities from using quota 
systems, HMS has used a two-tiered system in which applications from under-represented minorities
defined as African-Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans are evaluated by a dedicated 
subcommittee before being pooled with the rest of the applicants for a final decision, according to 
Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, HMS associate dean for student affairs.
    According to Mayer, HMS started to review its affirmative action policy in late 2004.
    Under the new system, minority applications will simply be flagged to ensure that at least one minority
admissions officer evaluates the application and interviews the applicant, Poussaint said in an interview 
last Friday.
    We stood out, in a sense, as a contrast to Harvard College, the Law School, the Business School, and
all the other medical schools in the country, Mayer said. Its an internal adjustment in the way that the 
process takes place, so as not to make the Medical School and the University in general vulnerable to 
any outside forces.
    Poussaint cited the language of the Gratz v. Bollinger decision, which called for holistic affirmative 
action policies, saying that administrators thought it would look more holistic if minority groups were 
spread over all the subcommittees.
    They didn't want to give any appearance of doing something different that was in some way limited 
to minorities, Poussaint said.
    Mayer added that the change in the admissions process did not indicate a reduced commitment 
to diversity.
    There is absolutely no change in our commitment to diversity, Mayer said. If anything, it enhances 
the commitment to under-represented minorities.
    In his interview with The Crimson yesterday, Mayer also released statistics on the incoming 
Class of 2010, the last HMS class to be admitted under the old affirmative action policy.
    According to Mayer, the acceptance rate at HMS remained steady this year at 4.2 percent. The 
school remains at the top of many students wish lists: Mayer said that the schools haul of 4,683 
applications meant that one of every seven medical school applicants in the country applied to 
Harvard. Minority applications were down slightly, but both Mayer and Poussaint said that the 
drop was well within standard deviations.

12/19/01: According to the American Association of Medical Colleges, Asian-Americans are not 
minorities.  "You are eligible for Med-MAR if you meet the following criteria: You are a U.S. citizen 
or Permanent Resident Visa holder and you are a member of a group currently under- represented 
in medicine (Black American, American Indian, Mexican American, Mainland Puerto Rican, and/or 
low-income individual)".  Therefore, when they want to implement affirmative action, they want to 
discriminate against Asian-Americans.
http://www.aamc.org/students/minorities/start.htm http://www.aamc.org/students/minorities/resources/medmar.htm 

Asian-Americans are the most qualified but have the lowest chance of admission to medical school 
than any other racial or ethnic group.  See Center for Equal Opportunity and click on

6/21/01 http://www.jewishworldreview.com: "Affirmative action doctors can kill you," by Linda Chavez, 
Center For Equal Opportunity -- 
    The American Medical Association meets this week in Chicago for its annual conference, and there will 
be plenty of controversial public policy issues on its agenda. But one issue you can bet the AMA won't talk
about is what effect the widespread practice of admitting blacks and Hispanics to medical school with 
lower qualifications than their white and Asian counterparts is having on the medical profession. 
    By now, most Americans have gotten used to the idea that colleges and universities apply double 
standards when it comes to admitting black and Hispanic undergraduates -- even if they don't like it 
very much. The assumption has been, however, that these students somehow catch up over the next 
four years and go on to be just as successful as their white and Asian peers.
    This notion was given a boost a few years ago when two influential former college presidents, 
William Bowen and Derek Bok, published the findings of a study on affirmative action, "The Shape of 
the River," in which they claimed that minority students who benefited from preferential admissions 
standards nonetheless went on to perform well, earning graduate degrees at higher numbers than 
might be expected. 
    What Bowen and Bok didn't say is that the same degree of racial preference being given to 
minority students at the undergraduate level applies to graduate schools, too, including medical schools. 
    For the first time ever, we now have the hard numbers to prove that medical schools routinely give 
preference to less-qualified black (and sometimes Hispanic) applicants than to others. 
    The Center for Equal Opportunity (CEO), which I head, has been studying the issue of racial 
preferences in college admissions for the past six years. 
    We've now turned our focus to medical schools and are in the process of gathering information on
every public school of medicine in the country. So far, we've analyzed six medical schools, representing
every geographic region of the country, and the pattern for medical schools is the same as it was for 
undergraduate institutions. 
    Black and Hispanic students are being admitted to medical school with substantially lower college 
grades and test scores than whites or Asians. If you're a black or, to a lesser degree, Hispanic 
applicant, your chances of being admitted to medical school are far greater than whites or Asians 
with the same college grades and Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) scores. 
    At the University of Washington School of Medicine in 1997, the odds ratio of a black applicant 
being admitted over a white with the same grades and MCAT scores were nearly 30-to-1.  At the
State University of New York, Brooklyn, the odds were nearly 23-to-1 in 1996 and were 9-to-1 in 
1999. At the University of Maryland in 1999, they were 21-to-1, and at the University of Georgia in 
1996, they were 19-to-1. At Michigan State University College of Human Medicine they were 
12-to-1 in 1997 and 14-to-1 in 1999. 
    But more disturbing even than the finding that medical schools seem to be admitting less-qualified
students on the basis of race and ethnicity is that many of these students can't pass their licensing 
exams, despite greater resources directed toward helping them than other students received. 
    At every medical school CEO studied, substantially larger numbers of black students than whites
either did not take or failed their initial licensing exams, and, in most instances, failed their 
subsequent licensing tests as well. These higher failure rates don't just mean personal 
disappointment. Since medical education requires a huge allocation of resources -- and at state 
schools, this usually means tax-payer funding -- medical students who do not go on to become 
doctors are a poor investment. 
    More than 3,500 white and Asian students were not admitted to the schools CEO studied, 
despite having better grades and test scores than black and Hispanic applicants who were 
given preferential treatment. Since grades and, in particular, MCAT scores are very good 
predictors of performance on the licensing exams, we know that a higher percentage of these 
students would have passed the exams if they had been admitted. 
    So, who wins? Certainly not the whites and Asians denied the opportunity to study medicine. 
But neither do the blacks and Hispanics who were admitted to medical school but could not 
survive there. 
    And all of the rest of us -- of all colors -- suffer, too, from a shortage of qualified doctors.

"Group accuses [University of Maryland] medical school of showing favoritism toward blacks," 
4/4/01 Baltimore Sun.  The University of Maryland School of Medicine admits that it favors 
African-Americans in its admission process.  A black applicant in 1999 was 21 times more
likely to be accepted than a white applicant with the same credentials, according to the Center
for Equal Opportunity ("CEO"), headed by Linda Chavez,  President Bush's first choice for 
labor secretary.  The CEO report about the medical school in Baltimore showed that the scores 
on the MCAT - the medical school equivalent of the SAT - of the 25th and 75th percentiles of 
black applicants were 36 and 44.  Similar scores for white applicants were 45 and 52.  
Francis Canavan, associate vice chancellor for the University System of Maryland, said he did 
not question the report's data. "The university does take race into account in the admission 
process as one of many factors in meeting its responsibility to provide equal opportunities to 
historically underrepresented groups," he said.  The medical school is being sued by a white 
applicant, Robert Farmer, who claims he was discriminated against when he was denied 
admission in 1996.  The state claims that he would not have been admitted under any circumstances.
