Product Description
Five years in the making, The High School Doctor is the premier resource written for high school students interested in the medical field. Every year, approximately 20,000 college students apply to medical school. Only a fraction of those students are accepted each year, making medical school a highly competitive option. The application process can be quite stressful and expensive. In addition, every student must take an examination called the MCAT or Medical College Admissions Test before applying. However, all of these steps can be bypassed. Did you know that you can have conditional acceptance into medical school right after high school? Nearly 50 universities across the nation accept high school students conditionally into medical school right from high school. This route can save thousands of dollars, bundles of stress, and loads of time. Not all of these programs are very well advertised nor are they well known. Knowledge of these programs and the steps to take to get into them will make you a competitive applicant. The High School Doctor is the premier resource and tool kit for getting into an accelerated/combined (BA/MD) medical program. There are unique never before seen program descriptions of each BA/MD program. The authors describe the paths to a successful application and interview. In addition, the book contains information on choosing the right college for you, financial aid opportunities that you couldn't imagine, and unique post-cards that you can tear away and put into the mail box for all of the BA/MD programs. This book will save you hundreds of dollars and time! The High School Doctor is the only resource written by physicians who have gone through the process. Then don?t miss out on an opportunity that can put you on the fast track towards medical school.

Summary: Terrible book 2008-12-11
Comment: This book had absolutely no information written in it. It gives the impression of being written haphazardly in a few hours, with absolutely no information in it. It says nothing, and for whatever reason, devotes the last third of the pages to making a dictionary in order to supposedly build one's vocabulary. Don't waste your money!

Summary: Irrelevant, The book falls short on every issue 2005-12-04
Comment: This book mentions a lot of interesting issues but falls short of covering any of them. My brother who is medical school recommended this razor sharp book by some ivy med students at secretroute.com that book is amazing.

Summary: Very helpful 2005-08-16
Comment: I thought this book was a good guide for me. It really helped me narrow down what I wanted to do and gave me a vision of being a doctor. This book was like having a career counselor for medicine! It's a great tool to have if you are seriously planning on going into medicine. I thought the authors were really knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend this book.

Summary: Nice Cover- too bad the rest of the book is irrevelent 2003-10-18
Comment: I was very excited to learn about this book. I hoped it provide valuable insight into attending an accelerated medical program (AMP)that I am aplying to. Instead, This book has no relevent information. To be fair this book has a list of schools that offer accelerated programs (however, I also found on about half a dozen websites). The book is gimmicky and badly written. There is a fifty page long vocab list for the lame reason that "having a good vocabulary will make you more attractive to a college." The descriptions of the collges mention absolutely nothing about their accelerated medical programs. Instead it includes unimpressive irrelevent information about the campuses (greek life, tuition cost, intramural sports, transportation ect.) These things are nice to know but it is not why I bought this book. Another four chapters of this book contain information about SAT test taking skills, writing good college admission essays, teacher recomendations, and a chapter called "The future of medicine." Why does this book seem to discuss everything about college except AMP's. I have a theory that the fact was the authors did not do enough research so insteaded just added a lot of information as filler. None of the authors have any experience in education or education study. For Gods sake one of them is a personal trainer! This is a crummy college information book that just so happens to have a title that alludes to a subject that has nothing to do with what the main topic of the book is really about. I felt cheated buying this book.
