no not just URM's. You have to be qualified as disadvantaged.
I am a URM but I dont qualify for the programs b/c they say I am not disadvantaged.

If you are part of the majority and still disadvantaged, then you can apply!!

Actually, UCLA does....you sign a written contract saying that you maintain X gpa with a X mcat score and at the least your garaunteed an interview for either ucla or ucla/drew. I know bc I interviewed and Ive also been accepted into the program.

How was your interview? what was the format, what type of questions did they ask you?

lets say you took the mcat and applied to med school and postbac, but once you finish the postbac and its time to re-apply again, don't you have to take the mcat once again since theres a time limit on it?

They were very basic questions. How are you disdvantaged? Explain your performance on the MCAT and Undergrad. What can you bring to the program? What can the program do for you. Tell us about yourself. Very Very basic questions. Good Luck....are any of you on waitlists for med school this cycle?
