This article fails to acknowledge that a well-intentioned medical school admissions lottery inadvertently creates a system where once past the combined GPA, CARs and Casper score cutoff, the biggest factor that decides whether you get in or not is the number of times you apply. It would be similar to how you have a higher chance of winning the lottery the more tickets you buy. Medical school applications are expensive and have an associated opportunity cost that would be more of a burden on those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Someone from a rich family could afford to wait year-on-year
