Denied by UCLA Med School? Your Race May Be the Reason.

Active Federal Class Action: U.S. Dept. of Justice Has Joined the Fight

⏱ The case is ongoing, and we need to hear from you. Don’t wait.

Race has been Displacing Merit in Admissions

Whistleblowers inside UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine confirmed what rejected applicants suspected: admissions officials openly discussed race, held white and Asian applicants to near-perfect standards, and routinely admitted others with significantly lower GPAs and MCAT scores. The admissions dean is an outspoken advocate for using race as a factor in admissions and hiring. UCLA has refused records requests for its own admissions data.

"All medical schools must abide by the law of the land and prioritize merit, not immutable characteristics, in admissions."

The Legal Fight

A Federal Case With the Full Weight of the Law Behind It

On May 8, 2025, Do No Harm and Students for Fair Admissions (the group that defeated Harvard's discriminatory admissions policy at the Supreme Court) filed a class action lawsuit against UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine. In February 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice joined the case, calling UCLA's policy "systemically racist.” We need UCLA medical school applicants to help us grow our membership to ensure we can keep justice moving forward.
