> Asians aren’t well represented there either What does this mean? Does it mean proportionally compared to the US population or does it mean proportional to their test scores? [1] has data on US med school matriculants for MD granting institutions. It seems to show that of the approximately 22k matriculants to US med school between 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 admissions cycles, 5k (4,687 at the lowest and 5,151 at the highest) are Asian Only. So Asian Only is roughly 21 to 22% of med school matriculants. US census results from 2020 seem to say Asians make up 6% of the population [2]. I know this isn't perfect because we really care about Asian population from those in the med school application age range, but I'm not familiar enough with US census data to find it. Unfortunately I can't find data for DO schools or for GPA and MCAT scores for admissions by race.
