<p>^Thank you!</p>
<p>I love how many people automatically believe that URM = lesser gpa/mcat. I know plenty of URMs in college that have amazing gpa’s and are just as smart as anyone else that gets into med school. Please don’t make the mistake of associating URM’s with lower scores at med schools…</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone was trying to say that URMs aren’t as smart or highly qualified as non URMs. What they mean is that statistically speaking, URMs don’t need as high of scores as non URMs do to win interviews and gain admissions. Why is that? Hard to know for sure, but regardless of the reason it is definitely the case.</p>
