Review:
There are plenty of doctors' reference books on diseases and drugs, but few to assist the would-be doctor attain that status. And there's an overwhelming blizzard of issues to face. Considering the effort that goes into passing organic chemistry, it's not a major time commitment to spend a few hours learning how to choose a college, survive premed, take the MCAT, and apply successfully to med school. And as a bonus, there's an appendix of summer programs for premeds, and a full directory of American medical schools (with grade point averages, enrollment, costs, and application information) as well.

If You're Thinking About Going to Medical School--Read This Book!
Today, fewer than one-half of all students who apply to medical school are accepted--which emphasizes the importance of well-focused preparation by medical school candidates. In its previous editions Getting into Medical School gained a well-earned reputation for the sound advice it has given medical school candidates. Updated to reflect today's medical school environment, this new eleventh edition stresses the importance of attaining a high score on the standardized MCAT. It also guides applicants through the arduous process of medical school application and advises them on ways to make a good impression when they are invited for that all-important personal interview. The book concludes with a medical school directory listing up-to-date tuitions and fees, academic requirements, and application and enrollment information for more than 140 accredited medical and osteopathic colleges across the United States. Also included is a list of Web sites that provide helpful information to medical school candidates.
