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?

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.

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.

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

"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.

A benchmark for medical
competence is the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Exam
Part I. Every medical student in the US must pass it to become a physician.
Students take the exam two
years before graduation. The most comprehensive study of NBME pass rates
was published in 1994 by
Beth Dawson et al (Journal of the American Medical Association 1994 272:9
674-9). The authors examined
the performance of every medical student in the U.S. taking the June exam for
the first time over the years
1986, 1987 and 1988. Dawson and her colleagues found that white medical
students passed the NBME
test at a rate of 87.7 percent and blacks at 48.9 percent. Notably, when
Dawson's study looked at entering
students with similar academic credentials, the pass rates on the NBME exam were
independent of race,
pointing an accusing finger directly at affirmative action. For all its
good intentions, affirmative action has
created two levels of competence in American medicine, separated by a bit more
than one standard
deviation. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/15487672_Performance_on_the_National_Board_of_Medical_Examiners._Part_I_Examination_by_men_and_women_of_different_race_and_ethnicity
