First off, I want to apologize for the duplication of this message. I've posted it in several forums in an attempt to solicit as many readers as possible.
Over the past month I've been working on a mini book entitled The Not So Short Introduction to Getting Into Medical School. The results of my work are available online at http://plaza.ufl.edu/aycock/medshort/medshort.pdf. I am asking for as many readers as possible. I want to edit the manuscript to make it a readable and easy to follow as possible. Any mistakes, suggestions, points of clarification, etc... are helpful. Just be as specific as possible. Don't say, "Expand the section on re-applying." Instead, give me a page number and what exactly you want to see. I will give an acknowledgement to anyone who causes a change. Further, please send suggestions via email to aycock <at> phys <dot> ufl <dot> edu rather than via PM or replies on the message board. That way, I'll be sure to get them---and not risk over loading my PM box or missing something on the message boards.
Also, if you would like to write a section or full chapter as a guest author, let me know. I will give you credit, too. I would love to get input on MSTP programs, military medicine, Caribbean schools---basically anything that is not in the book.
The final form of this book will remain free and accessible through the Creative Commons License. For now, however, I ask that you do not distribute it until I am finished editing it.
Finally, the book was written in LaTeX---the source code being available at http://plaza.ufl.edu/aycock/medshort/. If you know the language, please use it in making suggestions. If not, I'll take care of the details.
