The Complete Guide to BS/MD Programs by Todd Johnson: a review

An ever growing number of high school students who want to become doctors are taking a long, hard look at applying to medical school directly out of high school. They have good reason. The traditional medical school process is highly competitive and it takes at least 8 years, between undergraduate and medical school, to finish.

Title deceving.
I thought it would describe all the process from hight school , through the college to medical school.
It turns out ot describes only a very special accelerated med school program.
There are only very few of these and very hard to get into. There is none in my state ( Michigan)
Completely useless for me.
