This. Our son is in the same position. Excellent grades, volunteers as a paramedic, wants to go to med school starting Fall 2021.
We have several docs in our family, they are disturbed at how medical school seats here were slashed, available residency slots were opened up to foreigners, AND the overt and ongoing discrimination against white male applicants. Med school should be a genuine meritocratic process, not the SJW engineered sham it is now.
A law firm that helps foreign grad students get visas to work here and guide them to a path of citizenship stated there will be a need for 67,000 or more new MDs in the near term. Instead of selling visa slots, medical schools should be opening up seats to Americans and dropping their "diversity" cook booking for a "balanced" class. Students in high need STEM programs like medicine, engineering, biotech etc should get first priority for hiring and placement and should get grants to reduce their student debt burden if they stay in the field.
We are going to need to rebuild our own homegrown STEM talent pool if we are going to turn our country around (again). The overt discrimination and singling out for punitive action against white males has got to stop. It's offensive, it's immoral and two wrongs do not make a right.
