Care to elaborate, provide some proof maybe? And please, no more anecdotes. This thread has seen enough of those.

What sort of proof are you looking for? By the very nature of the statement, there won't/can't be statistics or whatever to support it.

Ex. I've directly spoken with profs who won't take students or evaluate students more harshly if they come from health sci. That's an "anecdote", but also proof.

Then the statement shouldn't have been made in the first place.

I was referring more to the careless stories and hearsay that gets applied to an entire program despite being complete crap most of the time.

Since when are statistics the only source of proof? Why do you need statistics available to back up every statement you make? That's absurd.

Just because you don't like something or don't want to believe it, that doesn't make it not true.

Are you kidding me? Did you even read my posts? Go through them one more time and tell me where I said that statistics are the only source of proof.

I never asked for a statistic, I asked for some sort of proof. That's not absurd.

I am well aware of that. What I don't like is people making baseless statements, providing no proof, and then perpetuating negative stereotypes.

The post implied that medical schools in the past have had problems with BHSc students. What's wrong with asking for proof?

Then you quoted that and responded:

I really don't see how I can further explain that, taken directly from your post.

And you still don't get it. The post said med schools have had problems with BHSc students, based on a person's conversation with someone on the admissions committee in which this was directly stated. That's no different from my conversation with multiple different profs who have stated the same thing about BHSc students.

Nobody is going to do a survey about this, nor would med schools consent to publish this information. Nobody really cares that much. The statistics don't exist. That doesn't make the person's statements false.

^ That is implying that there's no proof to backup the statement that was made, to which I replied that the statement shouldn't have been made. Aka statements with no proof shouldn't be made.

I never said anything about statistics being the only kind of proof.

Where in WalkerBlue's post (the one I responded to) does it say anything about talking to someone on an admissions committee? His post made a statement, with no proof whatsoever.

I was not implying there was no proof, in fact I directly stated that there are no STATISTICS, and that there are other kinds of proof.

Fml. waste of time. I'm not going to sit here and repeat myself over and over when you clearly don't get it.

Ya that's fine. I never disputed the validity of any other sources of proof (besides hearsay). If he can show me any legitimate proof of what he said (that med schools have had bad experiences with BHSc students), then I'll accept his statement.

Btw I liked how you ignored the second part of my post.

And I was referring to Bushra's post. I didn't respond because it's not relevant to the point I was trying to make. I used a random example. Although you don't get the point anyways so it was clearly a waste of time.

So you were referring to Bushra's post while calling me out for something I said that had nothing to do with Bushra's post

Okay I get it.

No you don't. I was calling you out on you saying that a statement shouldn't be made if there aren't statistics to support it.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well.

I never asked for a statistic. I simply want proof to this: "I wonder if all of this sheltering will cause students to get lax enough that medical schools stop accepting BHSc students based on bad experiences in the past."

Just so we're clear, I'm not asking for a statistic. I just want to know why he said that last bit.

Okay? Does that make sense? Do I need to re-word it one more time?

I was referring to your response to my statement, that you directly quoted.

*Sigh* I requested my account be deleted a week ago. This is pretty much exactly why.
