Customer Reviews

Great book! Must have for college apps.

I bought this book a few months back, and it's great. I heard about these fast track medical programs from my friends and they recommended this book. I especially liked the candidate profiles, application timeline, and easy to read format. It's definitely going to be my source when I apply to colleges next year. Though it says medical programs, much of the info in this book can be used for other stuff. One of my best academic investements.

Valuable Information for the Ambitious Teen!!

Wow! Ashish and Jason really outdid themselves!! I had never even heard of this type of program until I inadvertently stumbled onto a premed website that led me to this book! As most teens who have purchased this book, I have been very interested (almost obsessed!!) in becoming a doctor for quite sometime. I had been looking for this type of book forever! From High School to Med. School is a book that is not only entertaining, but additionally, it is very informative. I learned the necessities for getting into these programs and also got valuable tips on test taking, study habits, etc, etc, etc. I highly recommend this book to any teen who is interested in accelerated medical programs or simply to any ambitious teen who wants to become a doctor (and a good one at that!).

Great Book

This was a great book. I didn't know these programs existed till i stumbled across the website and ordered it from acceleratedmed. It provides info on how to prepare your application, write the essay, and interview at the medical schools. The best part about the book is that it provides information you can use for regular college admissions. Since it's written by students, it's very easy to read and understand. My only regret is that I didn't order it earlier.

One of a kind!

I've been searching for a book like this forever! It's helped me refine my college search, and explained accelerated med programs, which I knew very little about. The authors' advice is indispensible, and is a must for any future physician!

Changed my life!

I couldn't find any information about accelerated medical programs anywhere - until I found this book. It put's any other pre-med book to shame, and in my opinion, sets a new standard. It tells you EVERYTHING! And the contributions are awesome! They even have the world's youngest doctor in it and real research from journals.I've never seen a list of the schools that offer med. progams anywhere, and even my guidance counselor had no clue! But From High. School to Med. School has a complete list and tells about each one and even ranks them for me. I think that every school and every student should have a copy. The topics are very broad. My sister is even using it for general tips on packing for college. The interview tips are unbeatable, as well as the information on high school activities and summer programs. I'm also going to find the sections on all my college sciences courses very useful, especially orgo! It even tells me about fitting in and how to balance my studies with my social life.If you are a high school student who wants to secure their future, then you need to get this book today. I can't believe that I have what it takes to get into med. school from high school! I've seen in the authors featured in media where they say that if you let this option pass you by, you're likely to regret later.. and they're right!
