Getting into Medical School

Rating:
Summary: worthless
Review: All the information contained in this book is available online, free. Being someone with a love of science, I hated his tone. He concentrates too much on the non-traditional applicant, he who didn't major in science. I should have started reading this book before I bought it, I wasted my money.
If you are an non-tradional applicant, you might like the book. If you are majoring in any science or engineering, don't dare buy this book.

Summary: The definitive book for nontraditional students
Review: I found this book to be fairly useless for a regular premed. It features mostly non traditional students who "beat the odds" and make it in. If you're a normal pre med in college, you're not going to glean anything from this except that maybe you should study harder so you can avoid some of these problems. Examcrackers has a great forum for real premed advice for everyone.

Rating:
Summary: Fairly good and suitable
Review: This book contains a reasonably large amount of useful information. Finding one book or even one source of all your med school information should not be anyone's goal. It is an easy read with a vast range of topics which are all applicable. One of the most important parts of the book includes a listing and run down of almost every med school in the country, including gpa and mcat statistics, and tuition.

Summary: The definitive book for nontraditional students
Review: This is the only book I could find that dealt directly with issues that the nontraditional applicant would face in applying to medical school. I highly recommend it for applicants who are older, have a non-science degree or have other obstacles to overcome in applying to medical school. One chapter is devoted to success stories of applicants who had huge obstacles to overcome and still were able to do the impossible - getting accepted into medical school despite these barriers. Very inspiring!
