DESCRIPTION:
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 there's an overwhelming blizzard of issues to face. 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. . There are plenty of doctors' reference books on diseases and drugs, but few to assist the would-be doctor attain
This edition also offers new information on getting into osteopathic schools, and presents an updated list of websites that provide valuable information to medical school candidates.. Getting into medical school is a demanding process, with less than half of all medical school candidates gaining admission. The updated 10th edition of this reliable guide advises prospective medical students on the undergraduate courses they should take, then takes them step-by-step through the process of taking the required Medical College Admission Test, applying to medical school, getting past the personal interview, and doing well as a medical student
Dangerously outdated advice Amazon Customer I am a "non-traditional" (older) student in my second year of med school. I bought this book when I was preparing to apply, since many people said it was great for non-trads. But when I actually read it, I was shocked at how bad Brown's advice was. He relies heavily on his own experience applying to med school--but that was about 40 years ago, and things are totally different now. If you follow. The definitive book for nontraditional students A Customer 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 abl. Encouraging A Customer For the non-traditional applicant, Dr. Brown's book is insightful and encouraging. While lacking a bit in the school-review section (no juicy details here), it takes on the process of applying to Medical School as a personal carpe-diem search rather than a run in the rat race often depicted by books geared toward nervous 20-year-old grade-thirsty premeds. Worth a 2nd read.
