In the context of China's NCEE-based student selection system, parental medical background has no direct influence on admission results, yet intergenerational disparities in preparedness persist. To foster substantive equity, China's meritocratic system could integrate targeted interventions (e.g. pre-med mentorship for disadvantaged students). These findings underscore the global imperative to balance meritocracy with policies addressing structural inequities in medical student selection
