@PPofEngrDr, no it’s no problem at all. I just wanted to clarify because the @CNN article itself doesn’t say it although more local outlets like the KC Star do. There are very separate & discrete schools in a broad overarching university like UMKC – Law, Business, Nursing, Medicine, Pharmacy, etc. and part of deciding on medical school admissions/acceptances is putting together pieces and the importance of those pieces will vary from individual to individual as to whether it’s isolated in terms of specific people or an institutional problem.

Another story that’s been discussed was a UMKC medical student case and has been brought up and discussed previously in this forum as well.

I don’t have an account, but that case is working its way through the courts: https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/24689298/Carter_v_Curators_of_the_University_of_Missouri
