Product Description
Product Description
More people are applying to medical school than ever before, and 'So you want to be a Doctor?' will give you the best head start. It distils the wisdom of over 100 medical students, admissions specialists and doctors, revealing the truth about the medical school application process. This comprehensive guide leads the reader through every stage of the process, from deciding if you want to be a doctor, through to moving to university and coping with the first year at medical school. With a detailed profile for every undergraduate and graduate medical school in the UK, it will help students to choose the best medical school for them. It will also help with the other big decisions that need to be made, such as which A-level subjects to take and whether to apply to Oxbridge. All the essential information is covered, including: how much medical school costs, what work experience is best, and how to get it, completing the UCAS form, surviving the UKCAT and BMAT admission tests, getting through the interview. Written by an author team of a medical student, recent graduate and a widely experienced clinician, the book also contains first-hand accounts of students' personal experiences, and advice and information from people on the inside of the admissions process.

As a mature applicant for medical school (2012 entry) I have spent many hours in books and on websites this past year researching for my application. I have yet to come across such a fantsatic and well-researched guide as 'so you want to be a doctor'.
It is thorough (covering the application process from right from GCSE's for those who need it), insightful (with real interview experiences and really quite clever personal statements), detailed (describing separately every standard and graduate medical course in the UK), the admission test section is spot on, and massive credit for page 97!
I even read the chapters that didn't apply to me, and managed to come across some useful additions to help my application. I do wish I had come across this sooner, but it has still been a huge help, and I feel very positive about the (challenging) application process ahead. Thank you sanders, metcalfe and dev!

Bought for my daughter who... wants to be a doctor!! She has read it from cover to cover twice already and it is full of excellent advice for those wishing to pursue a career in medicine. A great purchase, very well researched and written.
