Unfortunately, many medical schools, jobs, and many others are judging people based on their skin color, religion, and gender nowadays. Pre-medical students should be judged by their GPA, MCAT scores, volunteering experiences, and so on rather than their gender, race, and other characteristics that they were born with. For this reason, I believe race, gender, and other characteristics that one is born with should not be included in any school or job applications. I don't believe in this equity where we give more points when scoring medical school applications to minority groups just so that they can get ahead. I believe in equal opportunities, not equal outcomes (equity). We should accept the most qualified applicants rather than take those who are less qualified in order to create diversity.
