This resource provides information on the application process to Medical School Early Admission Programs, including: a Q&A session explaining frequently asked questions, SAT and GPA requirements, the application, and interview advice. Your career choice is one of the most important decisions you can make. A career in medicine is extremely competitive but can provide limitless personal and professional satisfaction. If seriously committed to a career in medicine, learn how you can take advantage of these unique programs and make the right decision early!

This review is from: Medical School from High School: The College Applicant's Guide to Medical School Early Admission Programs (Paperback)

Although the "From High School to Med. School" book was well written, it didn't have any specifics. Ilyas's book was more to the point, also well written, but had a great index in the back with details on a ton of programs. I thought I knew of a bunch of these programs but there appears to be many more.

The good thing about this book is the long list of programs in the back of the book. I've tried for a long time to find a list of programs that complete. Also, I thought the book was easy to read and had some great advice.

This review is from: Medical School from High School: The College Applicant's Guide to Medical School Early Admission Programs (Paperback)

Part A of the book is all common sense if you have done some homework on college admission. The data included in Part B was so obsolete; the tuitions quoted are based upon 1999-2000 data, and some colleges no longer offer the combined program.

Luckly it took me only 1/2 hour to realize this and I ditched the book.
