This is a theory…but this is what may be going on…

SOMs realize that a number URMs are coming from inadequate K-12 education. These kids have the inate intelligence, but when they began undergrad, many didn’t have the best foundation so their grades may not be as high…especially the grades from the frosh/soph weeder classes. So, the SOMs try to find the ones with talent whose GPAs suffered a bit thru no fault of their own. After all, these kids will be “retaking” those science classes again in med school, right?
