around 3 percent of students chosen for the distinction at Icahn were from a racial background that is underrepresented in medicine, which includes blacks and Latinos. In that same period, about 18 percent to 20 percent of each graduating class at Icahn came from those groups.

The graduating classes of 18-20% may only be that way because of affirmative action. If admissions were completely blind and based on objective standards only, it could very well be 3%

What is scary is that over 96% of students admitted to medical school end up graduating. The stats on the 3 plus percent that don’t graduate include those who voluntarily drop out after finding out medicine wasn’t their “cup of tea”. Remember the old joke “What do you call the med school graduate with the lowest grades? Answer: Doctor.”.

Patients BEWARE!
