Dr Kanani's book
Started by Plaqueman
Yo,
I did buy it a few months ago, but returned it for a refund (which took a few weeks of emailing back and forth). The book doesn't contain any new information that you can't find here on SDN. (Actually, you can find more up-to-date info regarding applying to D. school here and by PM'ing others!)
It just contains the basic things that you've probably already heard about (what to say during an interview, what you should include in a personal statement etc.)

Bingo! I looked at when I was applying a couple of years ago as a buddy decided to purchase it and I came to the same conclusions.

I took kaplan and got a 20/20/18 (aa/sci/pat). I plan on retaking the DAT and I wanted to get more resources besides kaplan. Is schaum's bio available at bookstores? Do you know of any other test prep books? thanks again

I have never felt like more of a sucker than the day I bought that no-good piece of crap book. The fact that he can even sell it is a crime.
When I bought it he claimed to have dental school rankings and all this info that was no where to be found.
A-hole.
If you are new to the application process, and need a crash course ASAP then his book MAY prove helpful. If you are an SDN veteran, you know more than what is in Dr. Kanani's book. I also think SDN can be more helpful, because if you have a question you can get a variety of opinions instead of just what Dr. Kanani thinks.
Seriously, anyone see his website. Half of it is about him bragging about his 10 different degrees. What do any of those degrees have to do with dental applications? If anything, SDN people should get together with all our different experiences and publish our own guide to dental schools.
I agree! I was stupid enough to buy into the scam...He tells you how great it is to get u to buy it....but its a COMPLETE waste of time. As I read through it, there were no spectacular tips as he said there would be. He just writes about basic stuff you can find out from any other source.

I know, I wish I know this website early enough to not buy his book ... I lost $40 🙁 sigh ...
