MSAR online or the actual book?

[MangoPlant]

Everyone suggests to buy an MSAR to look at medical school profiles before applying, but on Amazon it says that the MSAR actual book doesn't have individual medical school statistics/profiles rather that it is the online version that has all those.

So I assume that everyone on this site is talking about the online MSAR but just in case, would someone be so kind to confirm that this is the MSAR that is frequently talked about on SDN?

Online. The book is a total waste. There is nothing in the book that you can't get off the individual school's website.
