I know being URM for MD is a big thing and can sway your application. Is this the same trend with DO or not as much? Just curious! 🙂

Only African-Americans seem to have a statistical advantage for DO school, where I've seen they take as low as an MCAT of 20. Hispanics, Native-Americans, etc. have very similar numbers to Caucasians. Asians tend to have a higher MCAT score.

Do you happen to know which school(s) take 20 for URM AA?

Do you happen to know which school(s) take 20 for URM AA?

Probably none without exceptional ECs and a high GPA.

No, I don't know. I saw the raw aggregate data from aacom website.

it can, but one still has to show that you can be a good student and a good doctor. we won't do anyone any favors by admitting them if they're not qualified to be in medical school. As such, we've rejected URM candidates.
