I'm surprised you'd base a doctor's capacity to do medicine off their MCAT score. It'd be like judging a staff software engineer by their highschool GPA. If a doctor survived the rigors of medical school and the years of near-poverty (if not actual poverty) wages of residency, why would you care at all about what their initial score on a test was over 5 years ago?

If you think the affirming actions end once the admittance decision is made I have a bridge to sell you. Holding favored minorities to lower standards has permeated every institution, including medical schools, at every level because people are afraid of being called racist. "Racist medical school fails african americans at higher rate than asians!" would be the headline and there would be no defense the critical race theory mob would accept.

Because medical schools do everything in their power nowadays to keep someone in and get them to graduate. You have the wrong analogy as well, MCAT is extraordinarily thorough, so instead of evaluating on someone's high school GPA, it would be like evaluating them on an all-day entrance interview on which you evaluate them on their knowledge of software engineering, hardware, various programming languages, and their libraries. And many questions from TAoCP.
