Mainly just my own curiosity--just looked at a Caribbean school website for funsies and was SHOCKED to see 3.2 😱 How low does it go in the U.S.? Thanks 🙂

Howard has the lowest on the US mainland, whereas UC del C has the lowest on any US territory
 
Is that school a low GPA because it is predominately a minority university? Do they accept WASPs there?

Guess what? They're still going to graduate with an MD degree from a US school so that's more than can be said for you at this point. But to answer your question, yes they do accept non-minorities to Howard.

Wow nice one. For one your thought implied I had some kind of deep rooted thoughts that Howard is a bad MD school. Do I think that is the case, absolutely not, in fact I don't know that much about the university and assume it's a fine institution to say the least. I have seen comments on this site where people downgrade the school for some reason which I don't know why. So it actually did a disservice to scholars that went to Howard by what you said, making it sound like a university that is just slightly "better" than going to a non-US school. That would also imply that going to a non-US school is bad. This does a disservice to everyone that practices medicine who did not go to a US school. Your comment is on the same level as someone making negative comments towards obtaining a DO degree. Asking if WASPs can be accepted there was half on the line with a joke, half on the line of a real question, because it seems like the university predominately caters to underrepresented minorities. Maybe Carlos Mencia types rub you the wrong way? As for you making a cut on me about not being enrolled into a US MD school at this time, that is a pretty low comment trying to shine negative light on me not being accepted but not denied to a US MD school, but my MCAT reached a decent score the first time, which is more than can be said about other people.
