The composition of Stanford University's School of Medicine class is consistently one of the most diverse in the country, particularly among peer institutions. The largest proportion of underrepresented students is made up of Latino students, almost 15 percent of each incoming class. Its active Latino Medical Students Association collaborates with other student organizations such as the Stanford University Minority Medical Alliance in hosting premedical conferences, community service activities addressing issues of minority health in underserved communities, mentoring, and outreach. Members of these organizations are also involved in various leadership positions such as student government, dean's committees (including strategic planning, public service, curricular), and recruitment efforts.

The goal of University of Texas Medical School's admissions program is to admit students who demonstrate excellence in academic and personal characteristics and who ultimately graduate as physicians providing culturally appropriate and culturally competent care to an increasingly diverse patient population. The Dean and faculty of the medical school have embraced this goal in support of the admissions process, and the ultimate selection of medical students reflects diverse ethnic, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
