The book doesn't go into too much detail on a medical career, for that an applicant will need a different sort of book and hands-on experience in a clinical setting.But the book aims to inform potential applicants about getting into medical school and that's exactly what it does. Before applying to medical school, every applicant should research VERY carefully what grades they will need, work experience, what qualities they need to have and to show. The entrance requirements differ quite drastically between one medical school and another, and this guide tells you what is expected from each, provides up-to-date stats on the ratio of applicants to places and interviews. Advice on how to improve your application; from academics to personal statement, what entrance exams you might need to take. Also offers advice as to other websites you can visit, and generally helps applicants decide which 4 medical schools they should try applying to and why.Produced by the Mander Portman Woodard college, which are a private independent (expensive) college, but this guide is accessible to anyone, not too pricey, and pretty comprehensive.
