Easier for minorities?

Pre-Med & Medical School Pre-Med Topics

<p>i was just wondering, is it slightly easier for minorities (specifically african americans) to get accepted into med school (or pharm, dent, etc)? if so, how does it compare to admissions at the undergrad level? is it similar or are they more heavily compared to everyone else? obviously we're talking about if the person is qualified, but is being black considered a "hook"? thanks.</p>
