>> It is what it is
It is exhaustive extensive excellent and probably a bunch of other e words It gives prospective students the low down and has more information than you will easily find on most schools websites On the otherhands some of the schools are missing info in this packet which is frustrating This is a must have when trying to pick which schools to apply to
>> Very informative highly suggested for med school application
I m 28 and taking the MCAT for the first time I m applying in June 2010 so I can enter med school in the 2011 calendar year The MSAR book is very reasonably priced and includes answers to so many different question you probably have on your mind
What s the application process
What classes do I need
What MCAT scores does a school require
When should I apply
What s the school like
Etc
My suggestion is to buy this book at least a few months before you plan on applying to med school There s so much information in the book it ll take some time to review and figure out what schools you want to apply to I ve gone through and been able to figure out based on my GPA and scores what schools I m most likely going to get accepted from For example if I wanted to apply to a school that s out of my state of residence then I looked up how many non residents were accepted to that school One school I saw accepted 290 students total but only 5 from out of state There s no point in me applying there and wasting my application fee if there s no chance of me getting in
Overall I think this book is great and I m glad I purchasd it It s only about 25 and highly recommended should be required in my point of view
>> BIBLE of a premed student
I am an undergraduate student doing premedical studies and this is absolutely the BEST resource I have ever seen If you re a premed student this book will be the Bible of your preparation and is a must have
If you are a premed student and are browsing through other books about preparing for med school do not waste your time or money on ANY of them This book has everything you need to know and more all in one place It is organized and easy to read and navigate directly to what you want to know
It not only has a profile of each med school but info on the application process mcat financial aid joint degrees and much more It will answer questions you didn t even think of No matter what stage you are at whether applying to med school or considering a career in medicine this book will help you I ve only had it for a few days and I ve learned so much Definitely worth the money
