So I am a minority.
I'm working on my pre-med classes now, aiming to have my bachelors done by the end of the Spring 2011 term ( about 8 months left in classes ).
I might end up with a 3.25 area SGPA, probably something close for my overall GPA as well.
Not the best scores in the book, but anything above a 3.0 ill be personally happy with as Im working, doing my internship and research projects as well.
So my moral dilemma comes into play when I start applying for medical schools. Realistically speaking ill have more chances at DO schools, but thats not the point.
Do I put into my applications / resume that I am a minority?
I really hate the race card, ive grown up around white people my entire life and other then a few *****s I think I've been treated very fairly. I am finding myself feeling "guilty" about the prospect of getting admitted into a medical school because of my skin color and not my work ethic.
However I am also very driven to get into medical school... so I come looking for advice!
If this has been brought up before ( probably has ) sorry, I didnt see it off hand
