I have one request aspirant2011 that you must not disclose the answers rightaway , the readers might get biased while solving and that may not give the desired result , hence kindly use the spoiler and you might ask your queries in generalised manner by not indicating any bias towards answer.
Thanks & Regards,
AIM GMAT

Why is D wrong?

(D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice

According to a survery of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas.

The problem here is "will"? should it be would?
"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results."

What is wrong with 'more likely than are other graduates ' in option A? what is the difference between 'more likely than other graduates' and more likely than are other graduates? [does the meaning differ greatly?]
