Overall, I can say that my experience as a minority applicant was not all to different from everyone else (besides being the only person of my ethnicity at some interviews). I applied to all the MD schools in Texas and received interviews at 5(San Ant, UTMB, Southwestern, UT-Houston, and Texas A&M). I only interviewed at 4 (I dropped my Texas A&M interview). I have accepted a position at Southwestern (best in Texas 😀 ...IMHO). Most schools tried to show me that they possessed a diverse student body so that I would not have trouble assimilating. Personally, that was not as important to me since I didn't want to segregate myself in medical school. During my interviews, I tried to stay away from the broad platform that more minorities are needed in medicine. Instead, I concentrated on HOW I would help minorities have better access to medical care. Any other advice about the admissions process can be found on this website or other pre-med websites. I hope this helps. If there is anything specific you want to know just reply.
