Is this a sick joke?,
This review is from: Medical School Admission ****A Must Read (Book Reviews) (Paperback)
This "book" is not what anyone would expect for $50...it is simply a bunch of papers sloppily stapled together with less than wonderful advice for med school admissions -- I can't believe that I fell for this scam. Potential buyers beware!!

By any means necessary!!!,
This review is from: Medical School Admission ****A Must Read (Book Reviews) (Paperback)
After reading this book, I took a deep breath. Ever since I was child I wanted to become a doctor, a desire which was put on hold due to family obligations. People who are wrote are probably experts of the medical school admissions game but most certainly are not experts in morality nor do they understand the long term consequences of their actions.There are multiple things mentioned in the book which made me relatively uneasy. This book is a sort of a Machiavellian guide to medical school admissions. If someone could summarize the theme of this book in a single sentence it will be, "How can I make you doctors by any means necessary".
I completed a master's degree in public policy and they are reasons why admissions policies of different medical schools are different. But I can almost assure you that none of those policy makers could have imagined in their wildest dreams that someone who is obviously very good statistics and numbers will manipulate the system in such a manner as described in this book. I mean I give it to them for figuring out the weaknesses of the system but most certainly there are reasons why certain people should practice professions other than medicine. One of those reasons being the lack of compassion and basic human decency. Every student of the medical profession is required to take the Hippocratic Oath, whose modern version requires them to enter a house of the patient for the well being of the patient. This book assumes as if AMA is playing a sinister game against every pre medical student in the country and what the book is doing exposing the weaknesses of the sinister game and letting an average Joe student become a doctor. I have been attending higher education institutions for almost a decade now and most of the books I have read about medical school admissions are/were written by senior doctors who had practiced the profession of medicine or academics that have seen class after class of aspiring pre med students. Those books contained an aura of civility and scholastic writing. Secret route is the first book I have ever seen that starts out with ton of system bashing. It then gives the reader extremely shrewd deductions of some very smart individuals and tries to persuade the reader that every successful medical student knows or uses these deductions. These deductions mentioned in the book are not limited to just what schools to apply to but extends to every arena of medical school admissions process which includes what courses to take and where etc. I think my main objection is that this book is not trying to lure the best and the brightest minds to the profession of medicine but it enabling anyone with a financial ability to buy this book become a doctor. The writers see the medical school admissions world as extremely dialectical/black and white. The writers of this book believe that their principle motivation behind this book is attack an unjust system. But the question for me is whether the medical school admissions system is really that unjust? Maybe so! For those who believe that need to join the ranks of the medical profession by any means possible this book will serve as an good tool however the few idealists' like me will like to believe that through hard work and dedication I can still heal the ailing even though the abbreviation Dr. does not precedes my name.

Money Hungry Pre med Must have!!!,
This review is from: Medical School Admission ****A Must Read (Book Reviews) (Paperback)
This is book is for people who just want to get into medical school by any means possible. There writers have no sense of social responsibility. The book is filled with numerous strategies to manipulate the medical school admissions process. Writers do not realize that a person with low grades and a low MCAT is going to make a very bad doctor and will injure patients. A responsible writer should not empower such people to manipulate the system in this manner. Med school interviews are designed to access what a student really thinks; writers should not give their or Ivy student answers, to such interviews, to a low performing student. I believe this book should be taken off before more morons get into medical school using this book. In my medical school, we have some really dumb kids, who got in due to affirmative action, OR other ways some prescribed in this book, they struggle everyday and will make horrible doctors! AFTER SEEING THIS, I SAY, IF YOU CANNOT GET A 30 OR ABOVE ON THE MCAT, DO NOT DARE TO COME TO MEDICAL SCHOOL! The writers talk about how AAMC is screwing every pre med student over purely for financial purposes, they cite yale law journal articles, if the writers are so ethical they should do some pro bono medical work in the inner cities instead of pursing high paying residencies.
