Kaplan Get Into Med School: A Strategic Approach

This book has been a terrific help in getting started in the med school application process.

The biggest benefit of this book is that it gives you a clear-cut idea of what to expect in the application process. The description of the interview process was especially helpful. It would have been nice to see more examples of letters and personal statements but it was still a good investment.

I just completed my first year of my undergraduate degree at a UC school and have been considering a career in medicine for nearly eight months. This book was a great resource for discovering all the detail that goes into successfully matriculate into a medical school. This book recommended I also purchase the Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR) which is a great resource for researching potential medical schools. However, I realized that the content of this book was to be found in the first chapters of the MSAR. So, if you're considering buying this book forget it, you'll get everything you want/need out of the MSAR and then some. But hey, you don't have to take my word for it.
