Product Description
Med School Confidential uses the same chronological format and mentor-based system that have made Law School Confidential and Business School Confidential such treasured and popular guides. It takes the reader step-by-step through the entire med school process--from thinking about, applying to, and choosing a medical school and program, through the four-year curriculum, internships, residencies, and fellowships, to choosing a speciality and finding the perfect job.
With a foreword by Chair of the Admissions Committee at Dartmouth Medical School Harold M. Friedman, M.D., Med School Confidential provides what no other book currently does: a comprehensive, chronological account of the full medical school experience.

 Perfect book for aspiring med students! July 19, 2008
This book contains everything technical I needed to know to apply for medical schools. It gives you all the step by step guides. It also gives you detailed, necessary information according to how early or late you may be in the preparation process. This book was a great purchase! I absolutely recommend it.
Great Book June 23, 2008
I didn't have any contact with medicine before college and was in desperate need for good information. This is a great resource.
All-in-One book June 14, 2008
This book is a great resource whether you are interested in med school or already in med school. It delineates what to expect for next 4 yrs in med school with extremely helpful guides!
 Please believe me when I tell you that you really don't want to go to medical school April 7, 2008

The problem with this book and those similar to it is that these books reinforce the idea of how wonderful it will be to become a physician. Here is all you need to know: After four years of grinding out top grades in classes like organic chemistry, you can look forward to another four years of no sleep, no social life, being humiliated and terrified by residents and attendings, and running up 100,000 to 200,000 dollars of debt, and then another 3 to 7 years of residency....all this to live in fear of being sued by a four-pack-per-day-smoker who will blame you for his myocardial infarction. Or better yet, be constantly second guessed by every high school drop out with an internet connection who someohow knows more than you and your expensive high-powered medical training because they "looked it up on the web". Do I have another 4 or 5 hours to tell you about managed care? Take it from a doctor who is living his "dream"...run, run away to something less stressful and more fulfilling than present day medicine...you know, like juggling chain saws.
Awesome book March 21, 2008
This book talks about the well rounded medical experience. There is something for everyone. It touches on the admission process and preparing for the MCAT. More importantly Med School Confidential talks about how to survive medical school and the study materials you need for boards. It gives some insight on what to expect from your pre-clinical and clinical years. Throughout the book, a panel of doctors talk about their experiences. It also includes a section about what significant others can expect as a supporter of a medical student. This book helps solidify your decision of becoming a doctor and elaborates on steps to plan a successful career. I haven't finished reading it as of yet, but I humbly endorse this book.
