I DON’T WANT MY SURGEON TO HAVE GOTTEN INTO MED SCHOOL THROUGH THE SIDE DOOR: Ohio State’s Medical School Had a ‘Side Door,’ DOJ Says. “The department reviewed admissions records for entering classes from 2023 through 2025. It found that some applicants received admission without an initial screening score or review by the admissions committee. In 2024 and 2025, black applicants using this pathway had four times the admission odds of white applicants with comparable academic credentials. No Asian applicants were admitted through it.”
