UCLA med students alarmingly sub-standard, as school ‘cuts corners’, admits applicants based on race

Over 50% of UCLA med students failed standardized tests on family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, and pediatrics.

A professor described one operating room incident, during which a student could not identify a major artery when asked.

The University of California, Los Angeles David Geffen Medical School has been heavily prioritizing race in admissions while the school has fallen in rankings.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, when a Black candidate in November 2021 applied with test scores and grades well below the average for UCLA, the admissions committee expressed skepticism and argued the candidate wasn’t a good fit.

Dean of Admissions Jennifer Lucero, however, chided the committee.

”Did you not know African-American women are dying at a higher rate than everybody else?” Lucero said.
