Xicano, good digging! So the total underrepresented UCSD Med School graduates can be counted on 2 hands after all, unfortunately. It&rsquo;s interesting the numbers are almost the same as 2004 except 3 fewer African Americans. On the other (half?) hand these numbers are so small it&rsquo;s hard to tell the difference between a significant change and normal fluctuation.

Comparing to the breakdown of UCSD undergrads by ethnicity in http://studentresearch.ucsd.edu/sriweb/Profile2008.pdf it looks like underrepresented minorities are in fact a little more underrepresented in the med school than among undergraduates, which would I guess be the ordinarily depressing expectation. Thanks for disabusing me.
