So, I'm hoping that perhaps someone could shed some light on these mildly confusing acceptance statistics provided by AAMC for the 2006 entering class. Based on all the conversation I see here on SDN, I guess I ignorantly accepted the implied notion that URMs, as a collective, have an "easier" chance of gaining acceptance to one or more US allopathic medical schools. Oddly, these data below seem to suggest otherwise. I'm hoping someone with more experience (and less opinion) on the matter could reply.
RACE/ETHNICITY - ACCEPTANCE RATE
-------------------------------------
asian - 45%
black - 38%
hispanic - 44%
native american - 37%
white - 47%
overall - 45%

Based on these data, it would seem that your chances of gaining admission would be increased (by as much as 9%) if you are white.
