The other morning I heard something that scared me. A bunch of medical schools were bragging about how they were increasing thier minority enrollment by going out recruiting. No mention of trying to get the best, just the minorities.

That's just brilliant. So in 20 years when all of the best doctors are white, they are going to complain when people don't want to go to minority doctors.

Idiots.

Gone are the days when a university would rather see empty seats than seat unqualified candidates.

Now qualification is only having PC status.

As someone currently in the med. school application process I can tell you just how true and how frustrating this is. The URM factor as we call it (under-represented minority) is huge.
