• Which schools are best for non-traditional students
• Where to complete your post-bacc training
• How to survive the MCAT

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best resource, May 7, 2002
By 
Joe (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Book of Medical Schools, 2002 Edition (Princeton Review: Best Medical Schools) (Paperback)
This book tries to "do it all," but without all the information. The best source about medical schools--including profiles of accepted students, average MCAT scores for the class, GPA's, costs, and the courses that you need to get in is available from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Their web site, and the book they offer, "Medical School Admissions," give the straight story. Combine the Association book with the med school reviews by students on the Web and you can get a good idea of where you should apply.

4.0 out of 5 stars OK Source, October 4, 2002
This review is from: Complete Book of Medical Schools, 2002 Edition (Princeton Review: Best Medical Schools) (Paperback)
I would argue with the word "complete" in the title of this book. I used this book to get a good idea of various medical schools but I supplemented this information with other sources such as the AAMC website and the individual school websites. A few things are inaccurate. However, one nice thing about this book is that it is one of the few sources I've seen that includes a section on the "non-traditional" student. Most books are written for applicants that are about 20 years old and still in college. I'm 28 and have been out of college for several years. Older applicants typically have special questions, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many of my questions addressed in this section.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should not be your only source of info, April 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Complete Book of Medical Schools, 2002 Edition (Princeton Review: Best Medical Schools) (Paperback)
This book is not complete by any stretch of the imagination. It is good, however, in that it provides things like addresses, phone numbers, and websites, so it serves as a good reference. Stoll's book should be used as a jumping off point, really (if you choose to invest in it). This book offers an extremely pared down look at a school, and if you are currently applying, will only be of limited use to you. To get the most accurate (and indepth) information, it would be better to look at websites and other materials. I found that the information offered in this book was NOT up-to-date. Secondary application fees and tuition data were not accurate, which makes me question if the other info is accurate. This would only be a worthwhile investment if you were a year or so from applying.
