Some are lazy but my guess is kids on a premed track at NYU for the most part are not.
Some just don’t have the ability.
At this time no minority student is going to be told that they don’t have the chops to make it in their chosen field.
That is sad.
I remember when a teacher in a highly regarded private school pulled me aside to tell me that one of my black adopted children was receiving higher grades than she deserved in a couple of classes, and to be aware.
