The DOJ claims the school may have admitted applicants from certain racial groups with lower grades or test scores than white or Asian applicants — a serious accusation challenging the school’s fairness. UC Davis denies the claims, insisting its admissions are merit-based and fully compliant with the law. This probe is part of a wider DOJ review of medical school admissions nationwide, targeting institutions receiving federal funding to ensure they follow anti-discrimination laws and accurately certify their practices.
