Announcement: Buying and Selling of MCAT materials

[Guest Ian Wong]

Hi all,

 

As far as I am aware, buying and selling of MCAT prep materials isn't illegal once you have purchased the books. However, I had to delete a message today that was offering to distribute photocopied material for a nominal price. While the spirit of comraderie is admirable (the med school admissions process costs a fortune), it puts me in a very difficult position, as this is clearly illegal, and not supportable by these forums. Please keep this in mind when posting any future advertisements.

 

Cheers,

What about selling used stuff?

If it's legal, go nuts. Photocopying and selling/distributing duplicates is not.

Me and a friend of mine, who both took the MCAT last year, bought all 5 AAMC practice exams from the AAMC, and split the cost my photocopying. However, if you go to a photocopy place they won't do it for you, you have to do it yourself. I didn't feel so bad splitting it between the two of us, since its already a RIDICULOUS amount of money ($US money no less!!), and I think its a more efficient way of doing it.

 

(Ian, i can understand if you delete this message.)
