Because of the cost of medical school, poorer students are less likely to become doctors than higher status students. which theorists would be more likely to examine how this trend impacts social stratification in the u. s.?

   Conflict theorists

Explanation:  Theorists who study the theory of conflict see society as a kind battlefield, where different classes fight each other, where there is injustice, where the stronger rule over the weaker, where there is a constant social conflict between those classes, and that conflict constantly leads to some changes. In fact, this inequality creates a struggle for social classes, and that struggle again leads to change. It is clear that conflict theorists are close to communism if not communists, since Karl Marx is considered to be the creator of this theory. Due to the existence of social classes, there are inequality and injustice, and therefore a conflict between classes.

That is why, for example, in society it is less likely that poorer children go to study medicine and the like. If one of the poor shows a talent for medicine, according to conflict theory, he will be suppressed for class struggle, and someone from a wealthier family will be favoured.
