Not really informative for people applying to med schools.,

This review is from: Insider's Guide to Medical School Admissions (Paperback)
I do not recommend this book if you're in the process of applying to med schools because the section on that particular topic is rather basic. You won't get the "insider's" take on the application process. I get the feeling that the author tried to make his book seem longer/bigger by having things like pages and pages of medical school addresses (why would I need that from him when I can get that easily elsewhere for FREE?). BOTTOMLINE: not an insider's guide at all.

Overgeneralized, Not helpful to anyone seriously applying,

If you as a premed know nothing, I mean nothing about the medical school admissions process, then this book can be used for a start. I found it to be lacking of original information. The author's attempts to full the books pages is obvious. Simple test to see if you need this book. -----Do you know what the MCAT is (yes or no). If "no" you need this book, if "yes" you do not. This book skims the most basic of basic admissions info.

Best one out there,

Our premed office has all the different books availble for checkout. After reading all of them and going through the process this one is the best. I am starting this year at Stanford. I am taking the book with me because it is the only book that gives you info on how to do well in med school. I will let you know how it measures up.
