The only book in its field written by a medical school admissions director -- thus offering the unique perspective of an insider -- second edition.

This book is intended to be a brief and quickly readable roadmap for your journey to medical school and beyond. It is written primarily for the high school senior, the freshman in college, or the more advanced premedical student who is desperately in need of some guidance that can be read in a few sittings. The reason that I believe this book is necessary is due to the fact that when I was a medical student getting accurate information about how to get into medical school was difficult and obtaining accurate information about what medical school is actually like, much less residency and life as an attending physician, was impossible! You see, none of the people who are truly knowledgeable about medical education or the practice of medicine are found on undergraduate college campuses-they are in medical schools and hospitals, both of which are largely inaccessible to premedical students! The second edition of Medical School 101 includes a new section on the 2015 MCAT and the changes that you must make now in order to be prepared for the new edition of this important examination, an examination that is about to undergo the biggest changes to its format and content in decades. I have also added a glossary at the end of the book that will provide you with the basic vocabulary of Medicalese, the cryptic language that is spoken by medical students and physicians! Dr. Leonardo Noto -- Physician, Author, and Owner of "The Health and Medical Blog with a Personality," www.leonardonoto.com. Author of "The Life of a Colonial Fugitive," "Intrusive Memory," "The Cannabinoid Hypothesis," and "Medical School 101."
