Goodharting Medical School Admissions

Adam Cifu, writing in Sensible Medicine:

We profess to value diversity among our students, yet our admission requirements enforce homogeneity. If everyone must excel academically, publish articles, and complete service activities, how much diversity is left? Does the art history major, who aced his required science courses and then spent two years on a scaffolding restoring frescoes, fit into the current rubric? Is the English major, who waited tables to pay for a post-bac program, leaving no time for research or volunteer work, going to get an interview?
