I don't really see why we need to bring up this stuff all the time. There is nothing any of us can do about our race. We can all do more clinical work or study harder, but we can't change the way we were born, so I think it's something that's best just left alone. Besides, you can't assume that two people are the same in everything. There is so much going on in this process besides just numbers and activities.
Seriously, what are you going to do? Change your race to fit your chances?
I don't think it matters, honestly. As long as you have great academic credentials, extracurricular activities, and personalities, your chance of getting in is as good as anybody's.
However, still whites constitute more than 50% of medical school student bodies overall. But, it also depends on a specific school. Some schools tend to attract underrepresented racial groups in medicine more than others.

Haha, yeah that southpark episode is pretty reminiscent of this thread.. haha

I was gonna make that reference, but actually say what the "procedure" was called... and then I remembered that might be offensive 😳
But yeah... these threads are overdone. Things are the way they are and nothing you do is likely to change that, so you might as well worry about what you can change.
On a side note, I was getting an ad called "afroromance" when I viewed this thread.... I have no idea what they are selling but it must be of the strange variety....
when I saw the title I almost thought this was going to be a dating board :-/
the only case I could actually foresee this mattering is for someone who's a halfie so they can know which 'race' they want to list, if they think they can get away with being only one or the other - that being said, I have no idea which one's better.

Read this riveting testimonial:
"When I portrayed Neil Armstrong in "Moonshot", I contracted a Russian orbiter to fly me to the Mir space station. I had to experience space travel first-hand. For a new character I'm portraying, I had to reconstitute my physical appearance. I chose the craftsmen and craftswomen at Make Pretty Skin Clinic because they were totally committed to helping me make a total commitment. - Kirk Lazarus

hahaha my cousins have used that term on us
White paper! White paper! White paper!
I'm half asian, put white, and the school registrar has declared me asian.
Put whatever you want. They'll decide what they think you are.

Hmm...I would say white. 🙂
I like asian girls.
Whenever someone says that I imagine a burly guy capturing girls of Asian descent and locking them up in his basement with leather belts, red lighting, and chains.
Haha, that's also what we do with pokemon.

That's what happened to me too.
I really don't think it will matter that much. I doubt medical schools are willing to invest its resources in training unqualified people. If your commitment is strong enough, you will find your place. The point is not to give up. Even if the bar is higher for Asians, the chances are that you are going to be on up of the curve. It is basically a trade off. Its like someone with a 4.0 competing against a 3.0 regardless of race. Who do you think will win?
