A must-have May 30, 2009

It does not matter when you are thinking of applying to med school: this year or in 10 years! This book is very useful. It gives you the statistics that you've wondered about (better to get it from the source than to listen to rumors). It gives some clear data about GPA and MCAT scores needed at different med-schools, etc. It is best to get it earlier than later but even if you got it a week before your interviews, it would still be helpful!
Very informative, highly suggested for med school application February 10, 2010

I'm 28 and taking the MCAT for the first time. I'm applying in June 2010 so I can enter med school in the 2011 calendar year. The MSAR book is very reasonably priced and includes answers to so many different question you probably have on your mind:
What's the application process?
What classes do I need?
What MCAT scores does a school require?
When should I apply?
What's the school like?
Etc...
My suggestion is to buy this book at least a few months before you plan on applying to med school. There's so much information in the book it'll take some time to review and figure out what schools you want to apply to. I've gone through and been able to figure out, based on my GPA and scores, what schools I'm most likely going to get accepted from. For example, if I wanted to apply to a school that's out of my state of residence, then I looked up how many non-residents were accepted to that school. One school I saw accepted 290 students total, but only 5 from out of state. There's no point in me applying there and wasting my application fee if there's no chance of me getting in.
Overall, I think this book is great and I'm glad I purchasd it. It's only about $25 and highly recommended (should be required, in my point of view).

You will find lots of information for every medical school. The book contains chapters that talk about financing medical school, diversity, and special programs. There are two pages dedicated to each school. You will find average MCAT and GPA for entering students, a description of the goals of the school, a list of requirements, and much more. Just buy the book!
BIBLE of a premed student! October 21, 2009

I am an undergraduate student doing premedical studies and this is absolutely the BEST resource I have ever seen. If you're a premed student this book will be the Bible of your preparation and is a must have!
If you are a premed student and are browsing through other books about preparing for med school do not waste your time or money on ANY of them. This book has everything you need to know and more, all in one place. It is organized and easy to read and navigate directly to what you want to know.
It not only has a profile of each med school but info on the application process, mcat, financial aid, joint degrees and much more. It will answer questions you didn't even think of. No matter what stage you are at whether applying to med school or considering a career in medicine this book will help you. I've only had it for a few days and I've learned so much. Definitely worth the money.
