Book Description
There are plenty of doctors' reference books on diseases and drugs, but few to assist the would-be doctor attain that status. And there's an overwhelming blizzard of issues to face. Considering the effort that goes into passing organic chemistry, it's not a major time commitment to spend a few hours learning how to choose a college, survive premed, take the MCAT, and apply successfully to med school. And as a bonus, there's an appendix of summer programs for premeds, and a full directory of American medical schools (with grade point averages, enrollment, costs, and application information) as well.
Comments
This is the only book I could find that dealt directly with issues that the nontraditional applicant would face in applying to medical school. I highly recommend it for applicants who are older, have a non-science degree or have other obstacles to overcome in applying to medical school. One chapter is devoted to success stories of applicants who had huge obstacles to overcome and still were able to do the impossible - getting accepted into medical school despite these barriers. Very inspiring!
