About The Study: In this study, underrepresented in medicine (URiM) student matriculation into U.S. medical schools declined after the 2023 Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling, with an emergent disparity in acceptance rates of URiM applicants relative to Asian and white students. The decline in URiM student matriculation was concentrated in states without a preexisting state-level affirmative action ban, suggesting that there may be an association between the SCOTUS ruling and demographic changes in matriculation.
