Customer Reviews

Extremely Detailed

This book has A LOT of information in it, and is very helpful. I think it is worth the price.

Perfect for the paranoid premed

I was once a paranoid premed who needed some guidance on how to pursue my dream. This book acts as a detailed guide to the medical path. Sometimes the book gets a little too specific on some of the "rules" (i.e. how to pack your clothes with attached diagrams), but these are only suggestions. Sometimes, these specifics are really helpful if you're clueless on what to do. This is an excellent book and I have already recommended it to some of my premed friends.

This book is outstanding

This books gives one information on how to prepare for medical school since the time one is in high school. Check list of things to do all throughout college and/or high school to get ready for the ultimate goal: Medical School.

A solid book for anyone trying to get into med school.

This book is almost exactly what I've been looking for. It has solid information on every step of the application process, from high school activities to choosing between multiple acceptances (we wish!). Also very useful was the section on international options, for those who have been rejected in the U.S. My only complaint is that nothing is mentioned about the importance of residency (i.e. what state you live in and what states you are applying to), and no mention is made of Canadian schools as an option.Overall, however, this is probably the best medical school applications resource that I have found,

The Best Pre-Med Book Out There

No Frills, with solid info about every medical school. All the stats about the medical schools and trends in medical education. Mock interview questions AND "answers." Details about what to wear during interviews even down to what kind of tie. It also has more info about personal statements than many books that are only about personal statements! Excellent book. Iserson also does a Getting into Residency book that is also excellent. Please look into this book.
