Hello,
I am a first time poster here and Ive just recently decided to go to medical school. My whole life i have been preparing for law school and found out now in my sophomore year that it is just not for me. I have started taking the required courses for medical school and am doing well in all of them. The topic of my question is in reference to that of minority students. I am a minority (hispanic) and i have noticed on the aama web page that the gpa for accepted minority students and MCAT scores are far lower than that of the white male/female. My question is this, does being a minority student help my chances of being accepted into medical school?
Thank you for all your responses,
Josh Cordova
