Very comprehensive yet try this online

This book is rather an index of most medical schools in the United States. Although most universities post this information online, this book serves as a great resource. Many people have also recommended the secretroute.com book. I found that book extremely good for strategy and visualizing the bigger picture. Good luck ya'all!

Wish I had found this 3 years ago!

This is a great reference for those interested in medical schools. My situation is somewhat unique, as I am interested in attending a school in Canada. This provided good, concise information about the medical schools in both the U.S. and Canada. It also has a very good timeline in the front, detailing the things a pre-med student ought to be taking and when. It's a good way to narrow down potential med schools, but also to get started in undergrad pre-med. I recommend this type of reference.

The medical school profiles as compared to last year: Amazing

The medical school profiles were amazing this year. They gave pictoral representations of the average scores of each medical school's recently admitted class, and compared it to the national MCAT average. In addition, it gave the percentage of admitted students with science majors, (I was surprised to see that, at Harvard, only 47% of the admitted students had science majors. I thought they would be in the majority.) and other helpful stats. This is the best book to learn about the curriculum that each med school adheres to. Of course, it is the official book, so there are no rankings. US news is good for that sort of thing.

This is the med school bible!!

I have looked at a few different books that give you information about different medical schools. These books combined did not equal the knowledge that I gain from this one book alone. With a detailed break down of tution and fees, relevant experience percentages, and acceptance and matriculation for each school makes this book exceptional. The book also gives great tips on undergradate programs and other important factors that plaque the minds of the pre medical student. This is book has invaluable to me in my struggle to get into med school and will greatly aid anyone interested in getting in.
