U.S. News Ultimate Guide to Medical Schools - Softcover
A lot of people decide they want to become doctors in high school-or sometimes at age 5. But medical school will take at least 7 years of your life, you'll have to compete with 40,000 other people to get in, and it could land you more than $100,000 in debt by the time you're done.
For those brave enough to take the challenge, the U.S. News Ultimate Guide to Medical Schools combines expert advice on how to get into medical school, U.S. News' exclusive lists that help you compare schools and data on the nation's medical-school programs.
Featuring expert advice on how to choose the right school, how to get in and then how to pay for it all, this step-by-step guide is a life-saver for the life savers. It explains:
- Why not all schools are equal and how to pick the best match for you
- The art of getting in, including succeeding at the MCAT, writing the personal essay and what admissions officers really look for and what they hate
- Exclusive profiles of five top medical school programs
- A complete directory featuring contact info, information on cost and financial aid, MCAT scores of students and more
