Editorial Reviews: Product Description All the information applicants need to make a crucial decision The Complete Book of Medical Schools gives applicants the facts about admission requirements and curriculum at the 122 U.S., 16 Canadian, and 3 Puerto Rican accredited allopathic schools as well as 19 accredited osteopathic schools. Plus, it provides all the practical information one needs to apply: • What is the school’s MCAT score release policy? • How much clinical exposure can you expect during pre-clinical years? • What is the grading/promotion policy? • Are there special programs for members of minority groups? • How much financial aid is available? • Campus and e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, admissions deadlines, tuition, and more Applicant who are more than a couple of years out of college probably have plenty of questions about getting into medical school. A special chapter inside offers advice on: • The financial and personal implications of being a non-traditional student • Which schools are best for non-traditional students • Where to complete your post-bacc training • How to survive the MCAT • Plus, follow eight non-traditional students through the entire process, from applying to acceptance This guide also includes advice for the dreaded med school interview. The Princeton Review prepares applicants for the selection committee by telling them what they can expect to be asked, from the tried-and-true favorites to off-the-wall questions that might make interviewees flinch.

Customer Reviews: OK Source October 5, 2002 J. Bowers (Tampa, FL) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I would argue with the word "complete" in the title of this book. I used this book to get a good idea of various medical schools but I supplemented this information with other sources such as the AAMC website and the individual school websites. A few things are inaccurate. However, one nice thing about this book is that it is one of the few sources I've seen that includes a section on the "non-traditional" student. Most books are written for applicants that are about 20 years old and still in college. I'm 28 and have been out of college for several years. Older applicants typically have special questions, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many of my questions addressed in this section. Should not be your only source of info April 16, 2003 This book is not complete by any stretch of the imagination. It is good, however, in that it provides things like addresses, phone numbers, and websites, so it serves as a good reference. Stoll's book should be used as a jumping off point, really (if you choose to invest in it). This book offers an extremely pared down look at a school, and if you are currently applying, will only be of limited use to you. To get the most accurate (and indepth) information, it would be better to look at websites and other materials. I found that the information offered in this book was NOT up-to-date. Secondary application fees and tuition data were not accurate, which makes me question if the other info is accurate. This would only be a worthwhile investment if you were a year or so from applying. Not the best resource May 7, 2002 Joe (Baltimore, MD) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This book tries to "do it all," but without all the information. The best source about medical schools--including profiles of accepted students, average MCAT scores for the class, GPA's, costs, and the courses that you need to get in is available from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Their web site, and the book they offer, "Medical School Admissions," give the straight story. Combine the Association book with the med school reviews by students on the Web and you can get a good idea of where you should apply.
