You asked for it. Personality is one of the biggest factors is it? Perhaps that's why in every country around the globe, post equity, affirmative action and positive discrimination, women make up 60% plus of the medical profession? Funny thing, but when those numbers were reversed, there was massive protest and quotas were instituted to increase the number of women at medical schools.

Opponents of quotas argued that merit should be the sole determinant of who is and is not selected and that men were naturally stronger candidates. Feminists and women's advocates argued that quotas were needed to balance the playing field irregardless. Now men are asking for quotas in medicine, and the feminists are arguing that the only consideration should be merit - women are naturally stronger candidates.

No quotas don't exist according to my friend here. Well then, would somebody inform these schools that their policies are in need of some serious revision?

Wow! I see now what you mean about personality. Having worked in the medical field in the capacity of nurse for over 10 years, I can honestly say that someone with that kind of attitude has no basis for being a physician.

Actually, I haven't applied because I was unable to do so - the MCAt testing was reduced from 6000 to 3000 due to change over to computer exams and thus I was unable even to apply here. None of this has anything to do with me. We're talking about fairness and equality here. I may make it into med school, but there are many more who won't because of these policies. That's wrong and having a moral compass with which to guide my actions, I see that.
