The Medical School Admissions Guide: A Harvard MD's Week-by-Week Admissions Handbook

Customer Reviews:

Invaluable book for a med-school applicant!

By MR - June 2, 2011

This book is a fantastic, well-organized guide to the admissions process. The numerous examples (with commentary) of personal statements and work/activities narratives have been a huge help to me, especially since I had no idea where to start as I began to put my application together. I've been carrying this book around me with everywhere for the past couple of months, and I rarely have a question that isn't answered in this book. The week-by-week layout is great too and helps keep me on track. There are a lot of med school essay and admissions guidebooks out there, but I would hands-down recommend this one to anyone applying to medical school. Also, I'd recommend you buy it around the fall before your application year (or before you sign up for the MCAT) so you can take full advantage of all of the MCAT and letters of recommendation advice.

very helpful!

By Sharon J. Kim - January 2, 2011

Finally - a realistic, cut-to-the-chase book that breaks down the stressful/horribly long med school process! I'm applying to med school next year, and this book has provided great tips on how to plan ahead, what to do next, how to get recs, etc. It's a very helpful step by step guide that will save you a lot of frantic last minute stress! It also talks about the various options of med school as well (M.D, D.O, foreign, Caribbean)

Good enough for two copies

By Ron - November 2, 2011

Both my wife and I are doctors, so when our child announced he would like to follow in our footsteps, we were very pleased but also a bit nervous. We both know how hard it is to get into medical school and the process is so different from when we applied. On a trip, I saw someone reading this book in the airport, a young man about the same age as my son. I went and asked him how he liked the book. He was nice enough to spend a few minutes talking to me about it, and even gave me the chance to look it over. He said it was a huge help because it broke things down into conquerable parts, a little bit here, a little bit there. This was perfect for my son, and I know because it's just about the only think he's ever thanked me for, more than once. The Medical School Admissions Guide is as great book for your son/daughter applying to medical school as it was for us, the parents - we bought two copies so we could follow along with our son. Tremendous help for our child, tremendous help for... read more
