Signs you see
A couple that are more true than they aren't from personal observation:
1. Positive ring sign: If a patient that is coming to see you has at least 1 ring on every finger, they're usually a little on the nutty side. Usually pleasant. Sometimes not. Typically a smoker and about 50% of the time is on some sort of benzo. Often times is accompanied with too much makeup and perfume.

Not every applicant's family/relatives are supportive on this journey. To those who are lucky to have support, that is great. To others without such support, and who has faced incessant criticism along the way, keep fighting the good fight!

Institutional Action
Hey guys,
I am an undergrad at a Top 20 undergraduate school with a very high Lizzy M score and an ARS score of 87, according to WedgeDawg's system. I made a careless mistake my freshman year. I have scoured the forums to see why other students have received IA's, but I think mine is somewhat unique. I would truly appreciate your expertise and guidance.
My freshman year I made the very bad decision to start smoking in my dorm room. While I was out of my room one day, I got a phone call...

While I am by no means a chain smoker, I have smoked 3-4 cigarettes every day since I was 14. Despite what we may be taught in class, I personally do not believe that smoking cigarettes in moderation is bad for you (just like doing anything without...
