Med School Confidential: A Complete Guide to the Medical School Experience: By Students, for Students

This book contained step by step procedures of all the components of getting into and surviving med school, residency, and a career. I loved this book, it gave me so much information that I didn't know before and is written in a very easy to read format. Great way to prepare for the years ahead of becoming a doctor.

I really, really enjoyed this book. Because I am going into pre-med I find the behind-the-scenes accounts fascinating. I will keep this book handy as a reminder as to why I want to someday become a doctor. I have much work ahead of me - but I cannot wait! Highly recommended.

this book really gave some basic info that ANYONE considering med school or medicine should already know but it gave some in depth info on pre-med,med school and residency

I bought this book with the hopes that it could be of some insight as to whether or not med school would be for me. After reading it, I can say that it was that and much more. Not only did I get what seems to be an acurate portrayal of what it takes to get into med school and the road to being a doctor, but also extremely practical ideas and tools to help be successful on every major step along the way. The writing was clear and concise and seemed to be geared towards an extreme usefulness for a serious med student or potential med student. I will be applying for med school and reading this book along the way to help me excel through it. I definitely recommend this book to anyone seriously considering med school or who is in med school and would like some useful pointers on how to choose your clinical rotations, pre-pare well for the USMLEs, apply for residencies, etc.

Awesome Book! This book is part instruction manual and part personal account of the journey through the premed/med-school/residency world. It is everything you need to know and everything you were afraid to ask about what you are about to get into, or are into already. It is step by step from premedical programs to applications,and from "matching" to life after residency. The authors speak to real world issues of finances and family as well as the academics involved. I have just purchased a copy for my best friend on her way to her first year of medical school. No one contemplating, or even mildly interested in what it takes to prepare for and become a doctor should be without this book.
