3.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, May 8, 2002

By 

Justine Lopez (San Jose, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From High School to Med. School : The definitive guide to accelerated medical programs (Paperback)

I am a junior in high school and when I found about the book From High School to Med. School I was really excited. I have been waiting for a book to come out like this for a long time. However I still needed more info to be fully informed. My counselor also presented me with The High School Doctor by Koneru,Wang,and Arora. This book helped me more on what I was looking for and helped me design a better plan for next few years left of school. I congratulate both books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks Detail, May 11, 2002

By 

Sara Laugher (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From High School to Med. School : The definitive guide to accelerated medical programs (Paperback)

Although well written, this book didn't contain any of the specific information about accelerated medical programs that I was looking for. For example, do I have to take the MCAT at Brown University? How is the social life at Alabama? What are the minimum requirements for each program? Which programs accept out of state students? "The High School Doctor" by Koneru, Wang, and Arora answered all of these questions and more. However, I still recommend "From High School to Med School" to purchase as a supplementary source. It was well written.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book Doesn't Cover Programs, February 20, 2002

By 

John Williams (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: From High School to Med. School : The definitive guide to accelerated medical programs (Paperback)

I thought the book was excellent when it came to the overall process of the accelerated medical programs, however the individual program descriptions were extremely week. I could have gotton the same info out of the AMA website. I would recommend another book.
