- Title
A compromise method to facilitate under-represented minority admissions to medical school.
- Abstract
The article discusses a good way for medical schools to reach their quotas of under-represented minorities (URM) while still maintaining their academic achievement goals. URMs typically come from families and neighborhoods that provide fewer opportunities than people of other groups. This often prevents them from acquiring a competitive education, which keeps them from being accepted at medical schools. A good compromise for medical school administrators is to accept URMs who show they can meet the school's minimum academic requirements even if they do not meet the level of other students.
