The DOJ says George Washington University's medical school broke the law by favoring Black and Hispanic applicants. The university says that's not true.
Federal investigators claim admissions officers used essay questions to identify race after the school banned it directly, resulting in Black applicants getting more interviews, higher interview scores, and admission despite lower MCAT scores than some Asian and white applicants. GWU's president says the school firmly disputes these findings and remains committed to non-discrimination.
This is part of a broader DOJ effort investigating medical schools nationwide for compliance with the Supreme Court's 2023 ban on race conscious admissions.
