Meanwhile, MLK is turning over his grave because his “Dream” speech is continuously abused by people using their race to advance versus using their skill or content of their character.

I hope you folks realize that most of your professions like lawyers/doctors/engineers have the same race based lowered admission standards.

Data for 2005-7 supplied by the Association of American Medical Colleges shows that a black applicant to a medical school with a 2.80-2.99 GPA and 27-29 MCAT score has a 67.9% chance of being admitted, while a white applicant with the same credentials has only a 16.3% chance; and a black with a GPA of 2.8 to 2.99 and a MCAT score of 36 to 38 has a 100% chance of being admitted, while a white with the same credentials has only a 40.7% chance.

A study of the University of Maryland School of Medicine found the relative odds of admission in 1999 for a black vs. white applicant with the same credentials to be 20.6 to 1.
