I feel like a lot of students have an advantage with their experienced premed advisors a few buildings over on campus and holding their hand through the experience and being part of a well-connected pre-med society at school.

I on the other hand am doing a bit of floating. I know where to go get the factual information, but sometimes it helps to have some help in applying it, tailoring it for you, and coming up with a secure plan. Kind of like reading textbook on a subject, versus an expert giving you great lecture on the same topic based on experience.

Anyone found any good advice books that would help one on their journey preparing and applying for medical school? I'm still at the beginning stages, but want to have resources available.

-Thanks.

When I first started thinking about med school, I thought that this gave a helpful general overview of the pre-med/med school/residency process: http://www.amazon.com/Med-School-Confidential-Complete-Experience/dp/0312330081

Here's one that's extremely useful. Shill alert! Dr Hartwig is a pal of mine.
