...particulars, the subcommittee could hardly have been more different from the UCDavis structure that the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional. Instead of quotas and separate admissions, the Med School's subcommittee only screened minority applicants and made recommendations to the full admissions committee.

So it's not a threat of possible "reverse discrimination" lawsuits from rejected applicants that has spurred changes; rather the Supreme Court's profound waffling has left affirmative action in doubt everywhere...

If you stay cool, you can actually enjoy the week, because you won't be frazzled or unnerved to fast. Pace yourself.
