Trump is ignoring daily intelligence briefings, relying on ‘a number of sources’ instead

I get that its annoying people generalize you because of affirmative action and you truly deserve to be at an Ivy, but they do that because it is truly the average. I only know about medical schools but the average gpa and mcat is a 3.6/32 for acceptance, meanwhile the average gpa and mcat for a poc is a 3.2/27. These are released statistics from the AAMC not just something people made up. I don't think its illogical for people to assume based of statistics like those, but trust me, your accomplishments will eventually speak for themselves and in the end things balance out. In the med school scenerio if someone wasn't a good student they will probably end up in primary care, if someone is a good student they will end up in a competitive residency (assuming that is what they want) so if a POC ends up as a brain surgeon then there is no way in hell they aren't competitive. For this reason I don't really judge people at all just because they went to a certain school, i'll reserve it for when they actually start their career where success is based off what you know. Because you scored 99% in your LSAT, you probably were top of your class, probably got a kickass job, and in your career you will accomplish a lot.
