After satisfactory completion ... courses, the Medical College Admission test is taken in the senior year of the student’s curriculum (Jakubiak, p 145-146). After graduation from a college, students who are accepted attend a four-year medical school. There are only one hundred forty-one medical schools in the entire United States; therefore, acceptance in these schools is hard to attain.

The primary method for socialization for Dave and his family is the school that David and his brothers attended.

Regression - retreating to an earlier, more infantile stage of development where some psychic energy still fixates.
