Unlike any 'Pre-Med' textbook, this is indeed the 'Bible' of those seeking a medical education.

This isn't a how-to-get-in book, but is just the facts. Who applied, how many (residents and non), how many interviews were there, what was the average MCAT compared to National Averages, what are the costs, what are all of a particular college's entry requirements, what specialties do they offer, how can I pay for it, what are the MCAT scores by ethnicity, what are the MCAT scores by gender, what is the average enrollment of each specialty once med school is completed, etc....

ALL of these questions and more are answered for EVERY Medical college in the U.S. and Canada!!!

The most complete and informative textbook on the market, for those wanting to enter a professional medical school...(I can't beleive its only around 25 dollars... they could've easily asked twice as much!

This is a must have, and compliments many of the 'how to get in' books here on amazon.

This, coupled with study guides such as Kaplans, will benefit most "pre-meds".

Enjoy.

The medical school profiles were amazing this year. They gave pictoral representations of the average scores of each medical school's recently admitted class, and compared it to the national MCAT average. In addition, it gave the percentage of admitted students with science majors, (I was surprised to see that, at Harvard, only 47% of the admitted students had science majors. I thought they would be in the majority.) and other helpful stats. This is the best book to learn about the curriculum that each med school adheres to. Of course, it is the official book, so there are no rankings. US news is good for that sort of thing.

I have looked at a few different books that give you information about different medical schools. These books combined did not equal the knowledge that I gain from this one book alone. With a detailed break down of tution and fees, relevant experience percentages, and acceptance and matriculation for each school makes this book exceptional. The book also gives great tips on undergradate programs and other important factors that plaque the minds of the pre medical student. This is book has invaluable to me in my struggle to get into med school and will greatly aid anyone interested in getting in.

This was a great purchase. It has all of the information you can possibly need if you are thinking about medical school. I spent alot of time researching certain schools and trying to find particular information. It was very time consuming. This book is worth it.

This is a great reference for those interested in medical schools. My situation is somewhat unique, as I am interested in attending a school in Canada. This provided good, concise information about the medical schools in both the U.S. and Canada. It also has a very good timeline in the front, detailing the things a pre-med student ought to be taking and when. It's a good way to narrow down potential med schools, but also to get started in undergrad pre-med. I recommend this type of reference.

This is a comprehensive collection of medical school requirements which is mostly available for free online. But this isa good combined source. [...]

Med school admissions is a crapshoot, let's be real. That said, this is still a must if you're applying. Worth the $.

This book is rather an index of most medical schools in the United States. Although most universities post this information online, this book serves as a great resource. Many people have also recommended the secretroute.com book. I found that book extremely good for strategy and visualizing the bigger picture. Good luck ya'all!

After 3 months of waiting, we found out it was not available. Disappointing.

the book came very quickly and was packaged so that it could not be damaged
