Students for Ethical Admissions

Mostly inactive. The coronavirus has changed nearly everything -- except med school admissions. Student run account. Views ours alone.

Dr. Carmody (@jbcarmody) broke this down beautifully on his blog. Recommended reading for anyone trying to make sense of this news!

Most of SEA's founders are M3s now, meaning that those of us who apply to OB/Gyn residencies will be among the very first people to use the new, non-ERAS system. Seems fitting.

Hope you're all thriving, @AAMCtoday 😘!

On a more serious note, the fact that AAMC was surprised by this news shows how severely disconnected the organization is. The issues that led to this (data hoarding, outdated software, exorbitant costs) have been known for years, and any improvements made were insufficient.

Rumor has it that Stanford will announce today that they’ll no longer participate in the USNWR medical school rankings (joining Harvard and Columbia).

So who wins - and who loses - when the big names leave USNWR? Time to break it down, Winners & Losers™️ style.

Throwback in honor of Harvard Medical School dropping out of the US News & World Report rankings today 👇

Change is slow, but change IS possible.

"I would #WaiveTheMCAT and admit a more diverse class, but I really have to keep our US News metrics up." - real admissions staffer (to us)

Thank you to Drs. Ko and Shim for emphasizing how the @usnews ranking system contributes to inequities in #MedEd!

"credentials are considered netural bc they are bureaucratically conferred, whereas ascribed categories are not highly formalized & are socially illegitimate means of status differentiation..race is produced via bureaucractic processes." https://t.co/8mcDHOZpxR @victorerikray

Harvard Medical School is withdrawing from the U.S. News & World Report “best medical schools” survey and rankings https://t.co/tvAPqJdzN1

[Tricia Pendergrast, MD @trpender]

This is your reminder that the #MCAT was specifically developed to keep "undesirable populations" from overwhelming medical school matriculant numbers. Such a test could "only be passed" by those who “should” become physicians, and would weed out the "undesirables."

[Students for Ethical Admissions @EthicalStudents]

Remember when we said that the way @AAMCtoday was handling the pandemic would lead to talented, capable students being kept out of medical school? And they were so determined to shut us down that they hired a PR firm and invented the ‘Fauci Effect?’ We remember!

How it started: How it’s going:

Breaking: An American Bar Association panel has voted to drop a requirement that law school applicants take the LSAT or another standardized admissions test https://t.co/8jFHfSfchN

Sounds familiar (though somehow handled slightly better)

[Students for Ethical Admissions @EthicalStudents]

Hey #MedTwitter! Are you at @AAMCtoday's Learn, Serve, Lead conference in Nashville? Be sure to join our friend Jay Rosner of the Princeton Review Foundation to discuss systemic disparities in med school admissions at tomorrow's Table Topics Lunch!

Seems like this website might be about to go the way of the dinosaurs, so here’s one last call to our buddy Alex… if you’re out there, get in touch! We miss you!

[Students for Ethical Admissions @EthicalStudents]

Just a quick point of clarity… Students for Ethical Admissions has no connection to Students for Fair Admissions. Unlike them (and despite what you may have been told!), we were actually formed by students…

[The Recount @therecount]

"In the lawsuits, Students for Fair Admissions, an anti-affirmative action group, has sued Harvard and UNC for allegedly discriminating against Asian Americans (at Harvard) and white students (at UNC)."

Also, one day we need to talk about how the entire process from applying to med school to paying for licensure exams (and associated resources) to sub-I’s to applying for residency is not a process that is made for us first gen/underserved folk.

My bank account is weeping.

#MedTwitter Worried applicant from Puerto Rico here, my med sc has not uploaded most of our MSPEs yet. Electricity, WiFi, cell signal are still unreliable, delaying this process. Can we submit our application without it? Will it affect the way our applications are reviewed? #ERAS
