Customer Reviews

I wish I had this book before the whole application process

This book isn't just a list of interview questions: it's a way of thinking and approaching the whole process, and a way to get into the interviewers' heads. After realizing that I had the power to conduct my interviews better, this book was like a coach and helped me keep my cool through difficult interviewers. This book is essential to the medical school application process and really offers something unique that I couldn't find in other books (at least, med school application books available at commercial bookstores like Borders). The author writes a column on the Studentdoctor website so if you'd like to sample the quality of his writing, I'd recommend checking his articles out there. I would recommend this with The Princeton Review Planning a Life in Medicine for maximum impact.

Very Nice Little Book

This book proved to be very helpful in my preparation for the Med. School interviews. The size of it, the structure, and the language of this book make it instrumental for those who are nervous and disoriented in their last days before the interview. Very good book!

An absolute "must-have" for anyone seeking admission to a medical school.

Written by Jeremiah Fleenor, MD, MBA (a member of the Health Care Careers Committee at the University of Colorado at Denver), The Medical School Interview: Secrets and a System for Success is a no-nonsense, "how-to" prep guide for the number one factor and challenge for admission into medical school - the interview evaluation. The Medical School Interview teaches aspiring students how to put a positive spin on answers to common questions, offering numerous actual interview examples of what to do and not do, more than 30 actual questions used by admissions committees, a checklist for sorting through the personal information one will need to ogive a foundation, witty personal testimonies from other interviewees, and much more. An absolute "must-have" for anyone seeking admission to a medical school.

A Powerful Resource - You Won't Find Another Book Like It

Dr. Fleenor's book provides a clear, concise, plan for medical school interview success! As a PhD professor in a healthcare professional program, and someone who has served on admissions committees, reviewed hundreds of applications, and interviewed over a hundred students, I feel I can say that this is a resource no medical student applicant should be without. The strategies, if worked through and applied personally, will no doubt increase an applicant's confidence, communication, and poise as they navigate the admissions and interview process. The personal insights and unique stories in the "Tails from the Trail" will inspire many readers that they too can make their dream of becoming a physician a reality!
