get it

I bought all the books and wound up using this one the most. The interview section was right on the money. I was asked questions verbatum from the book. I did read one review stating that the information was to basic. The sample mcat is worth the price of the book alone and there was nothing basic about it. Get this book.

Very helpful

I found this book to be the most helpful. It takes you step by step through the admissions process. The worksheet on how the schools grade your application was great and was not found in any of the other books. I have read the chapters on succeeding in medical school and it is a great read. I have told all my undergrad friends to buy the book.

great

Everything that was described by the author from filling out the applications to interviewing was right on the mark. I was shocked when my interviewers asked me questions that were word for word in the book. I was ready for them and did well. I think the section on grading yourself as a candidate is helpful because it lets you know where you stand. I have told all the premed undergraduates in our club to buy the book. Can't say enough about this book.

Two thumbs up.

I'm in my second year of undergraduate school, and I would love to go to medical school afterwards. I'm not your typical student as I waited about 5 years before starting college. I wanted a book that could answer all of the common and not so common questions regarding entrance into medical school. I skimmed through much of the book when I first got it, and there are some work sheets that allow you to give yourself points on various activities/grades/etc. The author gives suggestions on how many medical schools to apply to based on your score. Since I never received any rewards, and I was not your outstanding high school student, I need all the help I can get. If you are looking for ways to help you get into medical school, and the do's and don'ts of the interview, then I'd suggest you check this book out. It's worth the $$ for referrence. It even tells you how to give a physical !

Best one out there

Our premed office has all the different books availble for checkout. After reading all of them and going through the process this one is the best. I am starting this year at Stanford. I am taking the book with me because it is the only book that gives you info on how to do well in med school. I will let you know how it measures up.
