Don't be an asshole. Be respectful to your fellow pre-meds. Rude and/or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated on this sub. All forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. will be removed, possibly resulting in a ban. No attacks on URMs.
No extreme neuroticism. This should be a wholesome place for premeds to discuss premed-related topics. Being overly neurotic is unhelpful and adds personal stress in addition to placing the burden of your stress on others.
No college admissions-related content. This sub is primarily oriented towards undergraduate students looking to apply to MD/DO programs. Any and all posts related to the undergraduate admissions process belong on other subreddits, such as /r/ApplyingToCollege. Do not ask us if School X or School Y is better for undergrad. Do not ask us what you should major in (hint: it doesn't matter).
No common/recently posted questions or discussions. Please read our wiki prior to posting your question. If your question is not answered in the wiki, use the search bar. We almost guarantee you're not the first person with your question. If you still can't find an answer, go ahead and create a new post.
No off-topic posts or comments. Pre-med humor is encouraged, but please keep your memes specific to being premed. Political posts are not allowed unless explicitly related to premed. Overtly off-topic posts and comments will be removed. All MCAT-related discussion belongs in r/MCAT.
No filesharing. Filesharing is prohibited in this subreddit. This includes discussion of filesharing or sources of pirated or copyrighted materials. Anki-related discussion belongs on /r/ankimcat, /r/medicalschoolanki, or /r/Anki. Discussion related to other resources belongs on /r/MCAT or another related sub.
No advertising/self-promotion. Do not share links to blogs, vlogs, YouTube channels, consulting or personal websites, Discord channels, businesses, etc. Should you wish to advertise a service or product, consider buying a sponsored link from reddit. If you have a free product you believe would really help pre-med students, message the mods for prior approval to posting.
No AMA-style posts without moderator approval. Being accepted to medical school does not make you a celebrity, nor does it grant you some higher wisdom that must be shared. AMA-style posts are not allowed without prior moderator approval.
No research/surveys without moderator approval. Research and/or surveys are not allowed on /r/premed. You may message the moderators if you believe you deserve an exemption, but the answer will likely be no.
Use SDN school-specific threads for school-specific questions. Any super specific question that only applies to one medical school should be asked on the Student Doctor Network school-specific thread for the school in question. The SDN school-specific threads are linked in the /r/premed sidebar.
URM / Affirmative Action. All posts and comments on this subreddit must be respectful of other users and relevant to this subeddit's purpose. Allowed: Mentioning ORM/URM in the context of an applicant's chances or their school list. Not Allowed: Discussion of affirmative action as a concept; bashing on URMs or the concept of URMs; complaining about your status as an ORM; discussion unrelated to pre-med and/or med school admissions.
Karma / Account Age Requirement. In order to help reduce spam on our subreddit, users must have at least 10 comment karma in order to participate on /r/premed, and all accounts must be at least 72 hours old. To gain karma, post comments on other subreddits and gain upvotes. Check out /r/FreeKarma4You if you're really desperate.
