Med School Admissions Books

<p>What are good books to help you get in to med school as well as give a realistic nonbias view of life in the medical field?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know what residency for people on the psychiatry path would be like?</p>

<p>well, I do know that the "Bible" for med school applicants is the MSAR..:D</p>

<p>I also used this book as my bible before the MSAR: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0028625005/qid=1149977051/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-5487444-2675156?s=books&v=glance&n=283155%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0028625005/qid=1149977051/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-5487444-2675156?s=books&v=glance&n=283155&lt;/a>
Getting into Medical School Today
Covers everything from classes to application to interview questions, and provides analysis of several personal statements explaining what is good and what is poor.</p>

<p>And for a book with a very interesting and strange view of medicine I recommend The House of God. It paints a very interesting view of residents and medicine as a whole. Its written by a psychiatrist if I'm not mistaken.</p>
