The campaign for diversity is long running and has some value, yet the ideological extremism of the past two years has led medical schools to adopt dangerous strategies. To fight supposed “systemic racism,” at least 40 institutions have dropped the requirement that all applicants take the MCAT, the gold-standard test that measures students’ grasp of this life-saving profession. The University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, where I used to work, now waives the MCAT for a number of applicants each year, primarily from Historically Black Colleges and Universities....

As far as those similarities are concerned, some Division players have just found the mother load: a new loot cave. Yes, The Division might not have any caves to speak of, but the goal is still the same: farm enemies, collect endless loot, and repeat. Truth be told, there are actual several loot caves scattered throughout the landscape of New York City post-outbreak, but the most efficient grinding spot is in the Northwest part of the map, right next to the Autumn’s Hope safe house....

Hunters are perhaps the most dangerous enemy in The Division 2, and are often summoned through secret quests. The community of Division 2 secret hunters have recently discovered a new pair of these fearsome opponents, locked behind a long and meandering quest chain. Here’s how to summon them. RELATED: Google Stadia Version of The Division 2 Will Feature PC Cross-Play Lost in the Laundry The quest chain to spawn the pair of new Hunters is rather more complicated than the one to spawn the Divide Hunter, and begins to the west of Gate CP in the Civic Center region....

During its most recent State of Play presentation, Massive revealed its plans for The Division 2’s upcoming Title Update 12.1. During the presentation, Massive confirmed that it was working on an update for The Division 2 specifically for the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S console. With update 12.1, The Division 2 will be available in 4K resolution with 60 FPS on next-generation consoles. While Massive doesn’t clarify, the Xbox Series S is likely to be a lesser resolution....

The title focuses on multiplayer action and it allows players to explore Washington D.C as an open world. The Division 2 initially received praise for its open-world mechanics and combat but has since had trouble keeping players satisfied. With that said, this update that gives more power to players and nerfs NPCs may encourage a number of players to return to the title and experience the exciting online world once again....

Included within the update are some tweaks that The Division players will no doubt be glad to see. In terms of general tweaks on 1.8, player turn speed has been improved, while the amount of D-Tech available has been increased through the deconstruction of gear and weapons, as well as through various caches and through clearing Landmarks. Of course, the most exciting additions coming through the 1.8 update are the two extra gameplay modes, with one co-operative and one competitive mode being brought to the multiplayer title....

The season plans for The Division were announced several months ago, so agents already knew that the Survival DLC was coming. As the below video states, agents will find themselves without food, without water, and surrounded by enemies as the temperature drops. Collecting resources like food and water was initially supposed to be an integral part of the game, although this obviously wasn’t the case by the time the game released last year....

Announced today on his blog, Major Nelson’s contest is awarding one lucky entrant a custom 500GB Xbox One, complete with the Tom Clancy’s The Division title, orange and black color scheme, and the in-game phoenix right logo on the console. It also comes with one wireless controller in a special orange hue and a digital copy of the game. Five other entrants will be also chosen to receive a free copy of the game by itself....

With more players looking to Obsidian’s upcoming Avowed as the spiritual successor to Skyrim, The Elder Scrolls 6 will need to offer long-time fans an experience they’ve never had before. Thanks to The Elder Scrolls Online, fans have already seen more of Tamriel than ever , so introducing new locations will likely not be enough. To truly deliver a new experience, The Elder Scrolls 6 needs to expand its character creation with the true variety of the world’s lore....

Players have been able to become vampires and werewolves in The Elder Scrolls games since Daggerfall, taking on a curse which grants them unique abilities as well as some significant disadvantages depending on the game. Both vampirism and lycanthropy have an interesting role to play in the lore, and have been realized in different ways across the entries in the series.

Releasing on June 1 for PC and Stadia, and June 8 for Xbox One and PS4, the new Chapter will introduce around 30 hours of new content for players to adventure through. The Chapter will introduce players to the Blackwood zone, which will feature a “fiendish” new storyline that directly ties into the Gates of Oblivion chapter. The zone will show off Argonian culture, and how that mingles with Imperial ambitions....

“Time Out” has the mounting dread of a thriller, but the suspense is internal. It has the stately, well-crafted anxiety of a Hitchcock movie, except that the protagonist and antagonist are one and the same. A movie like this could never get made in Hollywood: Cantet thrives on ambiguity and nuance; he prefers questions to solutions. (Compare this with the Ben Affleck and Samuel Jackson psychological thriller “Changing Lanes,” a tense, well-made corporate morality tale that seems facile next to the French film: all the moral issues have been predigested for the audience....

Not long ago the world seemed poised for victory in its struggle against malaria. Armed with new drugs and potent pesticides, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared in 1955 that the disease would soon be eradicated. Obviously, things haven’t gone according to plan. Today the number of cases is rising worldwide. Malarial parasites now infect an estimated 270 million people every year, killing up to 2 million (far more than AIDS) and causing at least 100 million cases of acute illness....

These are some of the most talented cricketers to grace the short formats of the game. When you include the likes of Chanderpaul, Best, Roach, Darren Bravo and Rampual from Tests, what we have here is pretty much the nucleus of what should be one of the top teams in international cricket. Instead, what we get is a team stumbling from one disaster to another. Be it Tests, ODIs or T20Is, the script follows the same pattern: a few numbing defeats followed by an inspiring performance promising a new dawn, but which inevitably is a false alarm as the never ending cycle of underwhelming performances continue....

With that being said, the Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 is a large and complex multimedia project that lasted for quite a long time. It spans films, console games, and mobile games, as well as a book or two. The expanded Final Fantasy 7 universe has proven very difficult to keep track of, and because its various works have been of varying quality, not many fans put in the time to stay current on the whole thing....

Many of the stars who trust their mugs to him, from Vanessa Williams to Drew Barrymore, appear in Aucoin’s latest book, ““Making Faces,’’ published this month by Little Brown & Co. It’s a follow-up to 1994’s ““The Art of Makeup,’’ a $60 coffee-table book that sold a surprising 40,000 copies. The new one, at half the price, is a how-to guide peppered with anecdotes and startling celebrity makeovers–Lisa Marie Presley as Marilyn Monroe, for instance....

Imagine that you are driving a car on a narrow road that is wide enough only for two vehicles. You see a speeding car, hurtling in from the opposite direction. It comes straight enough initially, respecting all traffic rules. However, at the last possible minute, it swerves towards you and you need either considerable skills or plain dumb luck to prevent a disaster. This scenario, in my opinion, is perfectly analogous to an encounter between a batsman and a wicked reverse-swinging yorker....

Character artist Kristen Perry delves into the differences between design in Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2: I’ll mention it again, I know little about fashion, but it’s hard not to become interested when someone like Kristen sounds so passionate about her work. It’s not an area that’s typically discussed in gaming, but the amount of detail and background required to work in the area must be astounding. In reference to fashion design principles with regards to race, Kristen had this to say:...

The exact details of the deal have yet to be announced, but it is reportedly very lucrative, offering Lin and his Perfect Storm Entertainment banner a wide-ranging deal, beginning with F9, and following up with support for television projects through NBC and including their streaming service Peacock.
