To start, a good resource on each school is the MSAR (endorsed by AAMC): http://www.amazon.com/Medical-School-Admission-Requirements-2011-2012/dp/157754093X

Good luck!

I second the recommendation to get an MSAR, but I would only get the online access. The full details about why are found in this thread

If you really want a printed copy, then I would probably get the 2011-2012 version (like HAV000 linked) because the newest printed version doesn't have as much school info
