Is that a serious question? Because in your very next post, you started spamming us with a link to an online school of questionable repute and accreditation.

To Alin/Wepro2010:

You don’t seem to understand that we don’t appreciate spammers here. You start an account and your first post glorifies some test prep site you’ve supposedly found and how it’s the best thing ever.

So I change your post a bit and change your password so you can’t re-edit the post.

Then you start another account (same IP address) that also glorifies that first same website.

What you are doing is pathetic and undermining the credible test prep companies. Perhaps this thread can serve as a wake up to readers to take such anonymous comments with due skepticism.

DOne.

To build on what David said, and for the good of all this board’s users, please do not discuss any of the topscore.com GMAT questions here.

Update: The site is now functioning fine again and the spambot filters appear to be working as well. We haven’t deleted a single post or user account in about a week.

[moderator]

We’ve been getting a lot of spammers peddling viagra, porn, and other undesirable products. Perhaps in the haste, your message was deleted.

[moderator]

Done.

[moderator]

It’s fine.

Unless you want us to take down the thread you started in that section, there’s no harm in leaving it as is.

I just cleaned up several instances of spam from a Chinese medical school. It appears to use affiliate programs to attract students. (That alone should say something right there.)

So just a reminder that while some foreign medical schools may be a gamble worth taking, others are a complete waste of time and money. No matter what statistics these schools try to claim, very few of their grads are practicing doctors in the US. (They’re more likely to be working as nurses or paramedics.)

Just a friendly word of warning to our readers and any wanna be spammers out there.

Posts to David or the other Admissions Consultants should be posted on their existing thread.

READ THIS PLEASE: STOP posting these things with confusing handles to others like AskDavid or AskAdmissions. If you don’t I’m going to ban your IP address. Thank you.

[moderator]

Kindly change your user name to avoid confusion and repost this question. Thank you.

Please limit your posts to this thread to questions about admission into undergraduate institutions. There are other threads for MBA, medical, etc on this board. Thank you.

[moderator]

As a quick reminder, this thread should only be used for questions to Jonny Nicholson about college admissions.

[moderator]

In the future let’s try to keep these inquiries in their proper categories and when a mistake is made, kindly delete it from the misplaced category. Thank you.
