<p>So sue me for being apathetic and being honest.</p>
<p>Hmmm...so we're comparing</p>
<p>All Asian parents are crazy about grades</p>
<p>to</p>
<p>Whites are the superior race</p>
<p>No...I don't think that comparison works.</p>

<p>Depends on what caliber med-school you're looking at. I'm sure there's a reason why so many ppl are clamoring to do pre-med at top universities...</p>
<p>"A 4.0 from UB and a 3.5 From Cornell, the student from UB will be the better candidate."</p>
<p>How do you know this? You seem to be very knowledgeable about what decisions "any" admissions committee will make...</p>
<p>EDIT: If you didn't already know this, sakky makes very good posts (with statistics, instead of just blatantly making incorrect assumptions) that the rigor of the school is in fact taken into account in med school admissions.</p>
<p>Now, now, don't misquote vinny. Let's do it verbatim.</p>
<p>We're comparing </p>
<p>Asian people are crazy.</p>
<p>to</p>
<p>White people are superior.</p>
<p>Doesn't that sound more workable to you?</p>
<p>And besides, your claim was about the irrelevance of an internet forum, not the content!</p>
<p>Lol...ok, well yes that was his initial statement, but I don't quite think that's what he meant.</p>
<p>UB-Vinny, you should restate your theory. The general trend of the thread seems to imply that you meant "Asian parents are crazy about grades."</p>
<p>But yes, sixsixty, if he literally means asian people are crazy (insane), we have a problem and you are justified.</p>
<p>goyoungha at a time I thought of a career in medicine, I spent alot of time on the Medical section of this forum, as well as other forums, It seemed to be the consensus that what I stated is true. I just wrote here what I have heard here and have read other places. There are also some other good forums as well as this one that actually have medical professions that answer questions. Many say, Its just best to go to a University that is competitive but not top of the line, and to get the best grades you can. Save your money they say for professional school.</p>
<p>I am stating that as we see on many threads here, that Asian students complain about their parents being to strict with grades.</p>

<p>Then you would agree that your statement was too sweeping?</p>
<p>If so, then all's cool. If not well.... you're a hard one :)</p>
<p>Edit: You were clearly making broader claims than just that at the start, look at Posts #8 and #9 on this thread.</p>
<p>I see your point, UB-Vinny. I'm sorry for attacking you, but I just didn't know enough about UB to make an accurate conclusion.</p>
<p>I think this thread is a perfect example of a wonderful generalization:
all of humanity is insane.</p>
<p>Now, sixsixty, if your only problem with UB (and I believe that it has boiled down to this) is his diction, you are being very very nit-picky. Overall, I think the two of you have some troubles backing down and calling a draw on an argument.</p>
<p>Edit: I am late...you have begun calling a draw on the argument. What a shame that my post is so obsolete. Yet I refuse to delete it because that would be sad and I would feel bad for killing my post.</p>
<p>Not to mention the fact that you want to increase your post count. :D</p>

<p>You are wise beyond your years. :D</p>
<p>I highly doubt the OP is telling the truth. Seeing as there's no distinction between a 95 and a 100 (at most schools at least)</p>
<p>goyoungha: HOW DARE YOU</p>
<p>i have a serious condition where i am unable to detach myself and you say something like that? i will have you know that everytime i click "post quick reply" i have a tear run down my cheek</p>
<p>Poor kid exaggerates a bit & everyone pounces like rabid wolves, sheesh.</p>
<p>actually "poor kid" probably had more allies than the "rabid wolves"</p>
<p>theres is a difference between a 95 and a 100, a 100 is perfection.</p>
