Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This guide differs from the many directed at premed students because it is written from a medical student perspective. The authors are frank, pragmatic, sometimes humorous, and occasionally irreverent. This mixture makes for a book many libraries will find worth its modest price. The book does not focus on individual medical schools, but instead addresses issues: the preparation of an effective application, improving scores on the MCAT, and writing a compelling personal essay. The last constitutes fully half of the book, since the authors believe these essays can sway an admissions committee, even for those with borderline grades and MCAT scores. Although this book is not a substitute for such standard sources as the Medical School Admission Require ments, United States and Canada (Assn. of American Medical Colleges, annual), it does offer valuable views. Recommended.

Review

This fourth updated edition is recommended as a basic library reference and as a pick for any considering medical school: 50 successful application essays serve as examples and supplement a candid insider's guide to the medical school admissions process. -- Midwest Book Review

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth it, June 9, 1999
This review is from: Medical School Admissions: The Insider's Guide (Paperback)
The book contains 50 personal statements and not much else. The personal statements were not relevant to me or my friends. I did buy this book and others. I think the best ones were Insider's guide to med school admissions by Toyos and Princeton Review. Read this one in a bookstore and you will see it is not worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars very honest... I loved it..., April 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Medical School Admissions: The Insider's Guide (Paperback)
I thought this book is by far the best and most honest review of medical school admissions. It also has great tips on how to do well once you have been accepted.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good book for personal statements BUT, August 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Medical School Admissions: The Insider's Guide (Paperback)
This is a pretty good book as it has 50 personal statements. But, this is most of the book's content and it is also dated. The admissions process is so complicated that you need a more comprehensive work. I have looked at all of the books on getting into medical school and the best one without any question is the Definitive Guide to Medical School Admission by the Goldsteins.
