 NOT definitive August 1, 2003

First, the title is really annoying. It is NOT the definitive guide. Tone is somewhat condescending. For example, advises students to get into highly competitive college because "surrounding yourself with dwarfs will not make you a giant". Overemphasizes U.S. News and World Report Ratings.
 Excellent Book February 13, 2002

Helpful lists of top ranked research schools, hospitals, etc..Useful data about MCAT scores and women and minority enrollment. Great section with examples of strong personal statements. Outlines of factors influencing selection and opinions of students attending the top medical schools....(wish author would have done this for the more medical schools). Timetable section outlines application process concisely for students in their last 17 months of college...Very helpful book, especially for those of us who have lousy pre-med advisors. I also bought The Insiders Guide to Medical School Admissions by R. Stephen Toyos, M.D. This focusses on med school rather than the application process..Lots of info about residency. Entire section devoted to review for boards and clerkship. M1-M4 are explained in detail. Author breaks med schools down into "Top Guns", "Excellent Schools", "Strong Schools", and "Good Schools". Overall, I felt the [price] was a good deal.
Absolutely the best book on medical school admissions July 16, 1999

The entire procedure of applying to medical school is reviewed in this superb text. Many practical tips and examples are given. This has been an invaluable aid for me in applying to med school. This is a must have book.
Not very helpful June 9, 1999

This book had the standard information found in most pre med books. Not helpful after the preliminary admissions process. Also, I found that the admissions process at Harvard is very different than the process here in California and the book doesn't address that. The two books that I thought were better - Insider's Guide to ... by Toyos and Princeton review sorry don't have the author.
An outstanding resource. September 7, 1998

As one who advises premedical students, I frequently refer to this excellent book. This is an important reference that premedical students may use as they prepare their applications for medical school. Every premedical student should read it.
