upthetruth1 on May 16, 2026 6:45 pm >The proportion of matriculating Black medical students at Stanford was [22%](https://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/pediatrics/documents/FacultyMeetingSlides/2020/TAKEAWAYS-from-MD-Admissions-Faculty-Roles-2020-21-with-Class-Profile.pdf), or 20 out of a class size of 90, in 2020. Five years later, for our matriculating class, the administration does not ask for race or ethnicity information and cannot confirm the demographic data of students. However, informal estimates have placed the number at approximately seven Black medical students (7.8%) and no Black physician assistant (PA) students. This change from previous years is difficult to ignore and suggests a notable decline in Black student representation. Alongside second-year medical student Katya Vera, chair of the Stanford Latino Medical Students’ Association, we also recently issued a correction to an LA Times article that [misstated](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-03-26/trump-doj-investigation-alleged-racial-discrimination-admissions-uc-san-diego-stanford-medical-schools) the national share of Latino medical students as 7% and incorrectly implied that Stanford Medicine enrolls a higher percentage. So it went down massively, the DOJ is still investigating them. Yet we’re supposed to take this nonsense seriously?
