@WayoutwestMom - If you check that “for profit” source you will note that they use AAMC data on GPA and MCAT. I just pulled that source off the internet quick because it had the data I was looking for.
Most analysis makes an assumption or two. A good amount of the “help” that OP has been receiving from others on this thread has been well-meaning but notably absent of concrete data, analysis, or similar tools that can shed light on or assist in a decision.
To answer your specific complaints, obviously each school will define its under-represented pool uniquely but there will be overlaps with traditional definitions. Locales matter, as they do for any admission decision. None of this negates a look at the data. And I certainly hope you are not advising others to dismiss available data just because some schools have a holistic admissions policy!
If I’m not mistaken, OP is at the finalist stage of a few scholarships that would put him on track for pre-med preparation; he has not been awarded those yet (if he has and I missed that then double congrats to OP!!). While OP has been awarded a full ride to UIC, it’s in another area of study other than Pre-Med. (again, my apologies if I’m misremembering or missed a major post). While OP’s prospects look very good, the jury is still out on where he will end up and now he assuredly has one fewer possibility, since a switch to RD at UC signals that he must have received a LL or some other opportunity that he considers more desirable. Hopefully OP used the information he received in this thread to weigh his options and arrive at the correct decision for him. If he’s relieved at this point, that’s very likely a great sign that he did just that. ED isn’t for everyone and OP seems more to have his hopes pinned on med school rather than a particular college. I do tend to agree with Cupcake’s post #23, however. One of the questions that seems prudent for a prospective pre-med to reflect on is whether the host school is still a good fit if for some reason pre-med doesn’t work out or you change your mind about it.
