Nobody "deserves" medical school...

I would argue those who have better stats 'deserve' to go to higher ranked schools, no matter their race...

No, because nobody deserves to get into medical school in the first place. People deserve things like food, friendship, shelter, respect, and the like. Medical school is a privilege even for those with high stats.

Ok, then by your convention, maybe the privilege of medical school will be bestowed to those not on the base of their race this year but on the base of their potential as a physician compared to the other applicants...

Sure, and as we all know everyone's "potential" as a physician is defined by an single-day exam score and a GPA calculated over four short years of a person's life.

While I agree the system can be improved, those metrics are for sure more defining for physician potential than if they are black or white.

It’s obvious you haven’t really worked in healthcare.

The best doctors are not the best because they are the smartest in the room. Some very brilliant doctors can suck.
