But medical school will take at least 7 years of your life, you'll have to compete with 40,000 other people to get in, and it could land you more than $100,000 in debt by the time you're done. For those brave enough to take the challenge, the U.S. News Ultimate Guide to Medical Schools combines expert advice on how to get into medical school, U.S. News' exclusive lists that help you compare schools and data on the nation's medical-school programs. Featuring expert advice on how to choose the right school, how to get in and then how to pay for it all, this step-by-step guide is a life-saver for the life savers. It explains: - Why not all schools are equal and how to pick the best match for you - The art of getting in, including succeeding at the MCAT, writing the personal essay and what admissions officers really look for and what they hate - Exclusive profiles of five top medical school programs - A complete directory featuring contact info, information on cost and financial aid, MCAT scores of students and more Average Rating:

As a result, I knew which out-of-state medical schools were worth applying to (UMich, UCSF) and which ones were not (UC-Irvine). I would recommend getting either this book or the MSAR. Rating: - Ultimate Guide to Medical SchoolsSome of the information is a little outdated, but is still very relevent and useful. It gave me some insight as to the whole process of applying ofr med school. I recommend this book to anyone considering applying to med school. Rating: - Great item, especially for those interviewingThis is a great book. It has several lists that describe schools, most/least expensive, most/least diversity, most/least loans, most/least financial aid, most/least minorities, you get the point.
