Hey all!
I'm new to the forum and was just wondering if there are any Puerto Rican or Dominican URMs on here. I tend to get discouraged when it seems like the only place we get in is in Puerto Rico lol. If you look at the stats on AAMC the average Puerto Ricans MCAT scores are around a 24 for MATRICULANTS which is ridiculous and I assume is due to the fact that the Puerto Rican med schools have lower standards for the most part. If there are any of yall here I'd appreciate it, and maybe if any of you have friends who are at med school or who have been accepted that are PR or DR it'd be great to hear...I feel a little discouraged lol
Oh and does anybody know about Morehouse or Howard and how they accept hispanic applicants. I know they are traditionally black schools, but I didn't know if they were sympathetic towards Latinos as well.
Thanks!
