Review rules What we expect from you

• Contribute thoughtfully to ongoing conversations and avoid derailing threads. Brief off-topic banter is acceptable, but please do not hijack discussions meant for specific topics.
• If you represent a business or organization, clearly identify yourself before discussing it.
• Avoid cross-posting identical threads in multiple forums.
• Do not share copyrighted material without permission.
• Place advertisements in the appropriate forum. If you are a verified member, post ads in Student Classifieds. If you are a verified vendor, use either Test Prep or Advising Services forums.
• Keep language and content professional in all posts, including any memes or graphics. Treat all community members with respect regardless of their background or identity. Do not post anything that promotes violence or terrorism.
• Treat others with kindness and respect. Personal attacks, harassment, or hateful language are strictly prohibited.
• Do not misrepresent yourself by either claiming to be someone that you are not, or by using multiple accounts.
• Avoid posting demonstrably false information. We welcome unconventional viewpoints, but any content that contradicts well-established science without solid evidence will be removed. As Carl Sagan said, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."
• Please do not seek medical or healthcare advice through our forums. Case discussions among qualified professionals and students are permitted, but individuals should always consult a licensed provider for personal medical decisions.

1. Search first; many application questions already have threads.
2. Keep school-specific questions in school-specific threads.
3. Be respectful; SDN is moderated for supportive, evidence-aware discussion.
