Customer Reviews: The best book I have read for pre-med I would highly recommend this book to anyone going into pre-med. There are so many practical tips, ideas, etc.
I have been doing a lot of research into medschools and what it takes to get in etc and this book did not seem too redundant to me.
The writing style is friendly and easy to read. I almost feel like a trusted friend is giving me advice.
Not many books like this. Although this book is a little outdated, it answers many of the questions premed students have about getting into med school. It helped me to focus my efforts and keep on the path of becoming a doctor.
Informative Lots of good to know as well as need to know information. I could've wasted my time in a career in medicine but now that I know what all is involved, I know it's just not for me. You may think you're meant to be a doctor and so may all of your friends and family but don't be so sure until you find out how to get to that career and what all it entails.
Simple, subtle and inspiring This book is excellent for someone just thinking of applying into medical school. It simply crashes the stereotypes of what makes a doctor and make the journey and initiation to medical school more simple. So YES you don't have to be a genius to get in and finish. You just need to have your own personal self concept to get you through to the end of the day. Great handbook for medical students
Great for anyone considering to become a doctor This book was great, but most of it was common sense knowlege. I had wished it had gone into more detail about medical shool etc...The ending of the book sort of just dropped off, I kind of expected more. But it was a real eye opener, and it showsthat as long as you put your mind to something you can be anything you want to. A great self motivator!
