Equal

You may come to the conclusion that it is the fault of our education system and the problem a sociological one. Yes, that’s exactly what I’m trying to imply.

Nonetheless, I am not saying medical schools pay no role in aggravating this problem.

How?

Let me give you the unlikely answer: We ask how enthusiastic they are to study medicine.

You see? Enthusiasm is assessed by whether they have participated in voluntary work or some of the faculty’s attachment program. The inevitable result is, children from affluent families are more likely to have the time and money to take part in voluntary work. As to attachment by school children, the arrangement is undoubtedly fair and all students certainly have an equal chance.

Just ask George Orwell.
