Synopsis

Simply the best guidebook available for getting you into medical school...

Written by a medical student involved in every step of the admissions process, this is simply the best guidebook available for getting you into medical school. This book takes you through the admissions process from beginning to end and tells you how to maximize your chances of acceptance every step of the way. It is straightforward, easy to read, and useful to anyone contemplating applying to medical school: from high school students to non-traditional applicants looking for a second or even third career.

Concerned your grades aren't good enough? Find out what you can do to make yourself attractive to admissions committees.

MCAT worries? Discover which scores are good enough.

Interview jitters? Get tips for preparation and how to impress on interview day.

All these and many other common concerns and misconceptions are addressed inside. Includes special sections for high school students, non-traditional applicants, and MD/PhD candidates. Most importantly, this book is written by a current medical student who has recently been through the process. The author has not only gained admission to some of the nation's top medical schools, but he also has served on the medical school admissions committee and an undergraduate health professions advisory program. Medical school admissions is a rapidly changing field and this book contains information useful to those applying today, not those applying ten years ago. Don't waste your time reading lists of statistics from out of date publications. This book gives you the best up to date and pragmatic advice available anywhere.
