I did write this book. Where is his/her book and what is he/she giving back? My guide has helped many persons. I am very happy to know that others have found even a small amount of my book to be helpful.

He was, to put it bluntly, nuts. I guess he did get in, so that gives him some credibility in writing this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars I went to medical school with William Byrd..., November 20, 2005
This review is from: A Guide to Medical School Admission: A Straightfoward Guide to Getting into Medical School (Paperback)
He was, to put it bluntly, nuts. I guess he did get in, so that gives him some credibility in writing this book. Of course, he was also gone after one semester (I don't remember if he actually flunked out or if he just withdrew before he could flunk out). He also once accused people in our histology lab of stealing his jacket because they were trying to saboutage his chances (it was actually just sitting on another table about 20 feet away).

I can't even say "William was dumb, but at least he was a nice guy." He wasn't a nice guy. He was kind of a jerk.

I haven't read this book, so I have no idea if it's any good (Occam's razor would say no). But I can safely say that people who have to leave medical school after one semester should *not* be giving advice on medical school to anyone. At least he didn't write a companion book on how to succeed in medical school - or maybe he did, and it's just the blank pages at the back of this book.

There are a lot of guides on how to get into medical school - please buy a different one.

I would like to tell UCCF to go straight to ... but what would I have to gain by stooping to his or her level.

I did write this book. Where is his/her book and what is he/she giving back? My guide has helped many persons. I am very happy to know that others have found even a small amount of my book to be helpful.

I entered and finished medical school as well as residency. I am currently Board Certified in Family Practice and I have completed a Fellowship in Women's Health. My current position finds me on faculty at the St Francis Family Practice Residency Program at the University of Tennessee. With these credentials, I think I can definitively advise others about medical school admission.

I have thought of upgrading my guide and including chapters on being successful in spite of the challenges of having to deal with psycho-pessimistic-idiots. Buy my guide and decide for yourself. Don't let a person who has not read my book and is afraid to identify himself to decide for you.
