Limited Amount Of Information

This book has a limited amount of information. However, it should be used along with other sources to provide the package of information that is required to get into medical school. This book is best read in the freshmen year of college as getting into medical school is really a 4-year process. (Hamden)

Hard hitting advice. Much truth.

I am definitely a non-traditional student. This book has taught me many things I would have never known about. Like the fact that I should volunteer, be a leader in school clubs, etc, etc. I haven't applied to med-school yet, but I definitely know more about what it does take to get in.

it really worked twice.

I gave this book to my daughter in the middle of her freshman year. She was a premed major and did not do very well her first term. after reading the book she changed her major, became a volunteer EMT, did research and joined a women's Rugby team at school. These positioning steps resulted in her being admitted to medical school early in her junior year. She is now a third year medical student and attributes the book to getting in.we then gave the book to a family friend whos daughter had good grades but did poorly on the mcats. after reading the book and following the sugestions she was accepted by 4 medical schools.The book really worked, twice.It is best to read thye book in your Freshman year.
