Jochi1543 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 3 or 0, depending on definition (I am the only child by my mom and dad, but they had other children after they divorced). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeman101 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 ...........why are you asking why? I'm curious about what sparked your curiosity in this matter:) . I'm not trying to troll. I was hoping it wasn't because you were trying to find a correlation between successful premeds and the # of sibling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 so far seems pretty even in our highly scientific poll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w8kg6 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 To begin looking for a correlation between successful entry to medicine and number of siblings, a researcher should consider why there might be a positive (or negative) correlation between the two. Any ideas what that reason might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffle Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 fair enough. most medical students I know have very few siblings (if any at all). are you trying to come to the conclusion that only children or people with few siblings exert themselves more? some might say the oldest child has the most leadership qualities.

Any ideas what that reason might be? Well, someone could assume that children who have like 5 siblings have limited financial support from their parents, so their opportunities may not be as numerous. They could also assume that if one is the only child or one of the two, the parents have way more energy to focus on them (and thus, more parental pressure). Although I'm not sure where the OP was going with this poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewfieMike Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Now when it comes to birth order, there IS a correlation between being born first and having a higher paying job. But I haven't heard anything about actual # of children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
