I’ve given you a list of people I personally know who have gone to the colleges listed above. NONE of them went to CCBC, they went to graduate school right after graduating Maalot. They did their prerequisites in Maalot.
Like I said, you don’t have to believe me. I definitely will not out myself to post my acceptance letter to a highly prestigious graduate school in a competitive field.
I just wanted to point out the fallacies in your argument. I have brought you proof, (or as strong of a proof as I could on an anonymous online forum), and you claim that my proof is invalidated by the fact that you know other people who have not had the same experience.
Reframe that approach in a different conversation, and you get something that sounds like this:
Person A: I know a few people who went to Bnos Pesha and hated it.
Person B: That’s sad. The people I know who went to Bnos Pesha loved it and gained a lot there.
Person A: Nuh uh, it can’t be, because the people I know who went there hated it!
Person B: Well, the girls I know who went there loved it, and they <insert list of things they achieved at Bnos Pesha.>
Person A: No, I know all the girls in Bnos Pesha hated it, because I know some girls there who hated it. It can’t be that you know girls who loved it.
Now for the nimshal.
I get that the people you know who have gone to Maalot went to community college afterwards to do their prereqs. <b>But</b> that doesn’t mean that when I say that I know other people who got accepted to top ranking graduate schools directly from Maalot, that what I am saying is a lie because you know people who did differently.
All I was saying is that it is possible for students to go to Maalot for their bachelors, and get into great graduate schools – without having to go to community college or elsewhere in between. I myself have done this.
It may not be half the girls. It may not be most of them. But it is definitely possible, and has already been done by tens of Maalot students I know. To discount what I am saying by extrapolating from the girls you know – which is not the whole Maalot student body – to insist that every single one of them must have had the same experience as what you’ve been exposed to or led to understand- is not a working argument.
