I’m literally going to open up my own damn medical school

You posted a snapshot of objective data and believe this means... what exactly?

underrepresentation is rooted in underperformance

Is it hard to read my 2 line comment?

Additionally, you seem to be under the false impression that MCAT scores directly correlate with the quality of the physician.

Wrong. I never commented on the quality of physician. You can fuck off with your strawman

There isn't even a correlation between MCAT scores and Step 2 scores

Wrong. You'd think you'd actually check the literature before making such an error

Do MCAT scores predict USMLE scores? An analysis on 5 years of medical student data

A substantial body of literature supports the predictive value of MCAT scores on USMLE scores. Ogunyemi and Taylor-Harris (6) found a significant positive correlation between MCAT scores and USMLE Step 2 scores (r=0.524, p=0.000)

Whoopsie

In other words, not only have you failed to critically analyze this data, but you're not even accurately understanding the purpose of the MCAT score.

Ironic. You done embarrassing yourself or want to give it another go?
