Summary: Probably has answers for all your questions
Comment: This book was recommended to me by a first-year medical student. Now that I'm about to start medical school, I realized how helpful it is; it answers questions about the subjects covered from first to fourth years, about the USMLE and the Boards, what students need for the lab, and extracurricular activities. Most excellent are two appendices: one of them covers good textbooks on every subject and the other covers the possibilities for residency after the medical school is finished. There is also some advice on financial matters and personal life, all written in a no-nonsense, "calm down, everything is going to be all right" tone.
It's not just for medical students, it's also for premeds who can find advice here on choosing a college, MCAT, and prerequisites.
The reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because some of the advice given here is really just common sense. For example, who would not want to choose the least expensive and most convenient housing while being at school? Nevertheless, I am already planning on keeping this book close at hand throughout my years of studying.

Summary: A Pre-med's Perspective
Comment: I am a premed student hoping to not only get into a good medical school, but to suceed in medical school. I wasn't sure what medical school really was, and reading this book helped me get an idea of what I could expect. Chapter One is the Premed chapter . . . it tells you "How to Get There". The book also has one chapter for each year in medical school. It includes the general curriculum and study tips. Of course, the book also spends a couple of chapters talking about preparing for the post-medical school years. After reading through this guide, I feel that I can now better plan my premed years so I can maximize my chance of success in med school. (Of course, reading a book does not tell me about all facets of medical school life. To really know, ask people who are med students or doctors!!) Good luck to all!

Summary: A good primer on medical school life
Comment: If you're looking for an introduction to medical school life, this book seems to be a good start. I'm still looking for a more detailed guide, but for twelve bucks, this one's pretty good.
