How is underrepresented defined?
Some post-bac programs are intended for underrepresented students. These programs define this differently, but they often base it on the student coming from a medically underserved community. Being medically underserved is often based on socioeconomic level and/or ethnicity. Medical and dental schools also use the concept of a disadvantaged status which they define as being from a medically underserved population and/or being on state and/or federal assistance.
