This book is almost exactly what I've been looking for. It has solid information on every step of the application process, from high school activities to choosing between multiple acceptances (we wish!). Also very useful was the section on international options, for those who have been rejected in the U.S. My only complaint is that nothing is mentioned about the importance of residency (i.e. what state you live in and what states you are applying to), and no mention is made of Canadian schools as an option.

Overall, however, this is probably the best medical school applications resource that I have found,

Now that I am in I am writing reviews on these books. The reviews for this one must have been written by the publisher. My friend lent me this one because he told me to save my money. You can spend alot of time reading this and not getting much from it. Better to spend time studying for the MCAT's and reading a more concise admissions book. Rec. Princeton Review and Insider's Guide by Toyos.

I was once a paranoid premed who needed some guidance on how to pursue my dream. This book acts as a detailed guide to the medical path. Sometimes the book gets a little too specific on some of the "rules" (i.e. how to pack your clothes with attached diagrams), but these are only suggestions. Sometimes, these specifics are really helpful if you're clueless on what to do. This is an excellent book and I have already recommended it to some of my premed friends.

No Frills, with solid info about every medical school. All the stats about the medical schools and trends in medical education. Mock interview questions AND "answers." Details about what to wear during interviews even down to what kind of tie. It also has more info about personal statements than many books that are only about personal statements! Excellent book. Iserson also does a Getting into Residency book that is also excellent. Please look into this book.

This book has A LOT of information in it, and is very helpful. I think it is worth the price.

This books gives one information on how to prepare for medical school since the time one is in high school. Check list of things to do all throughout college and/or high school to get ready for the ultimate goal: Medical School.

Bought this book over four years ago... can't understand why they want me to write a review on it NOW. Honestly never read the book, or opened it after I figured out how to get into medschool.
