 Worth Every Penny...and Then Some January 5, 2007
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is the best book of it's kind I have ever read. I sat down and read it, cover to cover, in one sitting. And then I read it a second time a week later to pick up anything I missed. I suggest any pre-med student does the same!
This book covers everything a pre-med student needs to do in his/her undergraduate years to prepare for and be accepted into medical school. It also completely explains the process of applying to medical school and how medical school works. I have read several books of its type, and it is the only one that would recommend so strongly. The pre-med student will be able to refer to this book again and again during the undergraduate years, and probably, even during in medical school.
Like I said...worth every penny, and then some.

A Balanced Approach to Medical School & Life June 19, 2005
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
This is a great resource for those who want to go into medicine but don't want to sacrifice balance in their daily lives and relationships. Medical school and a career in medicine can cause a lot of stress, and the author shares some practical advice for making the experience more positive, focused, and productive. The valuable inside tips on the how to's of the application and school search procedure are a must for anyone seriously considering applying to med school.
 Good Read April 8, 2005

I am a senior in high school planning to do pre med at a four year university. This is would be considered an excellent read if you have no idea about the basic requirements and challenges of medical school. On the other hand, if you already have a solid background on what it takes to become a physician then the material is very repititive.
Personally, I had a thorough knowledge of medicine before I read this book. But the timeline that is provided in the book that suggests a courseload seemed to be very useful. I am definitely going to use this book as a reference when I am ready to apply to medical school.
