The University of Calgary’s Black Medical Student Association has given voice to black people as they instituted an admission process that is mainly for blacks.
Called the Black Applicant Admission Process, it will allow black people to identify with their roots during application and submit an essay on their racial experiences.
It should, however, be noted that the admission essay will not be formally graded but will be considered as part of the prospective student’s admission “overall file review”.
