It is regrettable, how errant your logic is friend.
I am not saying that all 17 of their acceptances were because they were a URM. In a number of ways, I am certain that there were items on the individuals application that warranted their consideration. However, to say that it was sufficient to carry them to 17 acceptances is delusional.
You are also confused. I was not suggesting that the applicant took advantage of any system. If you identify as someone who falls into the category of URM, it obviously makes senses to identify yourself as such in the application. You are suggesting that I am prejudiced. Let me make it very clear, that I am not racist, I am not prejudiced, nor am I anti-URM by any means. These URM programs exist for a very good reason, and that is to help address the unmet health care needs of sects of our society that have previously been cast aside. However, to meet this goal, because so few URM's apply to medical school to begin with, the admissions committees must cut these applicants a break, and it is often reflected in the GPA/MCAT category.
I am sure that many people here will agree, that a WASP applicant with the same or similar kind of personal story in their application, may get a considerable number of interviews and acceptances - but not so great as 17.
So, you should realize, that
I was reminding that those 17 acceptances were not likely based on the merit of that persons application in their entirety, but because of this URM advantage, which is very real. Does that mean I am saying they took advantage of a system? No, because that would imply some kind of dishonesty either in their application or how they represented themselves. I am not in a position to make that judgement call, and frankly that is a serious offense.
So, if you'd like to carry on thinking that I am prejudiced, I am fine with that. Just know that you are very wrong in that thought.
You should avoid jumping to conclusions. When you assume, you make an ass out of u but not me
