1 of my friends showed me this group on Facebook, that's run by this guy called ******. He created this "pre-med advice group," that is trying to profit off of pre-med students by offering "personalized pre-med coaching." He posted a sample document of what he was trying to bait students into paying, and called it the "Pre-Med Inc guide" (pre-med inc. is the name of his "company") The image attached is what he included in the document, and it's basically copy and pasted from @LizzyM ...

Hi everyone, I'm the owner of the page. All I can say is that I am very sorry, and I have removed my paid coaching services. I have not made any money at all off of this project. I spent years reading this forum and have immense respect for the people who give out help for free. I have learned almost everything I know from @Goro and @LizzyM and to see them upset by this is devastating. I saw many other websites offering pre-med coaching online (Kaplan, Pre-Med HQ, etc.) and figured I could make some extra money to combat my compounding medical school loans. I actually would redirect most interested clients to SDN. I figured this is analogous to people paying for an personal trainer when there are many free fitness forums available online. Of course people can find the information online for free, but some just like to hire someone to deliver years of knowledge into a condensed conversation. I will say that I made every effort not to plagiarize anyone's content, and always gave credit whenever I quoted someone directly. If LizzyM or Goro would like me to remove the page completely, I will. I am forever indebted to them for what they have taught me. Can we please delete this thread so as to not create a spectacle around my real identity?

The internet is forever, Chum. Let's leave this here but lock it. It is a good lesson.

PS: I'm not upset; just bemused. I guess my stuff must be pretty good if people want to use it to make a buck.

I always did believe LizzyM scores, LizzyM’s holiday rules and LizzyM heuristics make up the backbone of SDN, especially when supplemented with Goro’s Guides and other resources
