This book is great. I'm a junior in college, and have had the book for 6 months now. It gives a lot of information about getting ready to apply for medical school. It's very reader friendly, and will guide you through every step from high school to even past your acceptances and preparing for your first semester of medical school. The medical school directory in the back is great. It gives average grades for accepted medical students at many schools, in addition to contact information. The book also offers web links, info on the MCAT, AMCAS, sample personal statements, and great financial aid advice. This book is a great guide to keep in your apartment when looking for answers late at night. I highly recommend the book, and their website online studentsofmedicine.com, which gives a lot of information about being pre-med, and many more resources.

I purchased this book because it was the most recently released. Being published in 2003 it included important new changes to the MCAT, and the conversion of the AMCAS application to web-based in 2002, that could not have been included in books published before hand. So far the book gives a lot of important tips, and goes well together with its website www.studentsofmedicine.com. I would recommend the book to others and especially to high school seniors since you can really get an early start on being pre-med, and ultimately getting into medical school.
