“I can’t speak to college bias for Asians, but I can speak to medical school bias. The numbers do not lie - If an applicant is Asian, they need a higher GPA, a higher MCAT, and more extra curriculars than a white candidate. And a white candidate needs higher stats than a black or hispanic candidate. Men in all catagories need higher scores than women.”

So the bottom-line, when someone is about to cut my chest open, is to use an Asian male if available (White male as backup). No problem from my end, I just need to know the rules of the game.

Eye surgery ~ when you have something really, really, really bad (supraorbital retinal tear, full detachment for example) “they” send in the Asian males ~

Nope, not really...and I'll tell you why. MCAT, EC's, GPA's get you into medical school, they don't make you a doctor. The 'doctor' part comes after the Step I's, Step 2's, Residency, Fellowships, Board Certs, and continuing education.

As to whom is 'best' after that? that's a personal call isn't it?
