Buying the MSAR guide for $25 bucks seems like a good deal. I'm curious as to how this data compares to the free data on websites like www.eduers.com, www.theprincetonreview.com, etc. Thanks!

The MSAR is the most (if only) reliable source. I found the GPA and MCAT percentile breakdowns the most helpful. For example, it will tell you what GPA is the 10th, 50th and 90th percentile. It makes you more confident of your reach, middle and safety schools based on those metrics.

Yes, the MSAR is a very good source of information for medical school admission stats since it's published by the AAMC itself.
