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.

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.

I read both books available on the topic, Ilyas's as well as Raju/Yanofski's. I thought both were good but very different. Raju/Yanofski's had nice background and candidate profile info. But Ilyas's book was great because it basically only dealt with the application process and had a great list of programs and their info in the back. I've been to the AMA site and I didn't see as many programs as Ilyas's book had.

This book is a great resource for any HS student even thinking about becoming a doctor. It answers alot of questions and give's you the inside scoop on programs that most people don't know about. This book will give you the edge that most students don't have.

The book helped me get into medical school after I complted dental school. I would not have received interviews without them because my GPA is low. All the open interviews commented on my essay. I was referred to this book from Medical Help Network. I'm in debted to my books for life!

some more details could be good as a new updated version with up to date info.
