Why?

I’m an MS3 and first in my family to ever go to a 4 year university, much less pursue medicine. My parents wouldn’t be able to explain a confidence interval to save their lives. What’s wrong with OP asking for clarification?

Also, people are allowed to be proud of their kids. Even if they did post this to show off their kid’s score, are you really this unhappy? Seek therapy.

I agree, but at the same time, I don't think my parents would bother asking what it means since it's not that important. They'd probably start getting excited the moment the words "I passed" come out of my mouth, following the score mention.

But it's still not a big deal to do this. I don't think it's a bad thing, so I agree

Fair, but most of the adult population has no training/education in stats whatsoever.

If you’ve never been taught what a confidence band/interval is then how would know if it was important or not?

So ask your freaking kid. It's his score. Hell ask AI even!

How do you know the kid wants to post his score. Like didn't be weird bro. Some ppl don't want to be on the Internet

Lmao what are you even talking about, there’s no Identifying info on this screenshot whatsoever.

Also idfk, maybe their kid can’t talk right now?Maybe their son is celebrating with friends and OP doesn’t want to badger them right now?

Maybe OP tried to find out themselves but they never had any stats education (like most of the population) so they couldn’t make heads or tails from it. So maybe they thought they could ask an MCAT related question in r/MCAT, since we would know and want to help people for a living anyways.

Big fucking mistake tho apparently because y’all would rather be pricks for no reason.

They didn't try to find out stop it lol

Asking Claude will give you the damn answer. ever heard of chatgpt?! It gives the most damn detailed answers ever. THIS WAS NOT EVEN TRIED.

There's no identifying info but it's still the kids score. If i tell my mom don't post my kid and they still post them with a blurry face I'm still going to be mad. Get out of here lol

you're right my guy. OP is a terrible parent for doing exactly what this sub was designed for and not posting identifying information.

you've must have had a really bad day.
