Product Description
Review
I feel the book is very easy to navigate and unlike similar ones it is more detailed, encompassing parts that are often left out of others eg dress code for interviews, graduate and mature entry and a section on careers in medicine. In particular, the section on the specific areas a person should know about for their interview is very helpful. --Getting into Medical School Reviewer
Gives an excellent guide to the whole process of applying for Medicine. --Getting into Medical School Reviewer
Well written and easy to read, there are plenty of tips and good emphasis on the "non" academic part of the assessment process that so many applicants fall back on. --Getting into Medical School Reviewer

Packed with data, it's a very handy reference guide to all the different courses.
We also have the Veterinary book from the series which makes a contrast - the Veterinary book is a great read, encouraging, interesting on the subject as a whole. This book on Medicine focuses on getting onto a course - pretty light on the career as a whole - and more a reference book than a sit-down-and-read book. The data is really an eye-opener if you're into that: typical offers, numbers of applicants, course styles, numbers on courses,and much more. And there's examples from the tests.

Finding information about medical school entry is a nightmare if you don't have hundreds of hours. This book is a real time saver and a good piece of research.
Format:Paperback
There is a lot of good advice in here. Some of it is common sense, but that's a good thing. The book tries to get you to think more about what interviewers will be thinking, there was a bit in there about hobbies, it said something like avoid focus on hobbies that you do only by yourself, don't only say you like gaming, watching movies, and reading, that'll suggest that you're not very sociable because you normally do those things alone. Wise advice that most don't really think about.
The problem I have with books in this series is that they tend to be very similar, with practically only the statistics changing each year. Another bad thing is that the info about the current affairs and medical ethics is very thin, the book encourages you to read up on each issue yourself after going over it briefly, but it would be good if the book put in a couple more paragraphs for each topic, using the everyday language it uses through the book.

Does what it aims to do
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. Read more
