Our question this week is: "Should underrepresented minorities with lower MCAT scores be considered higher because they are minorities?"

It's not everyday you get to hear from someone who walked in space... We were honored to have the man, the legend, Dr. Bernard A. Harris, Jr join us as keynote speaker at our Black Men in White Coats Youth Sunmit. He has many firsts, including first Black man to perform a spacewalk. You will no doubt be I spired by his story.

Happy happy Monday! Our question this week is how does one answer diversity questions on their personal statement.

We are chopping it up with THE Teacher of the Year... Mr. Eric Hale! We go way back to his childhood fraught with pain and poverty. We learn what got him to turn the corner and how he uses his past to build up children and their communities. The passion he has for his kids is palpable. We talk deep on how to address the low numbers of black male teachers (<2%) and doctors (2%). You are in for a treat!

This week's premed question deals with the personal statement. What makes a personal statement standout to me? Check it out!
