    Illicit Guide to Medical School Admissions

        If your goal is to become a doctor, you need to get into medical school. My goal is to provide you with information and advice that will help you to get where you want to be. This site is a product of my experiences and perceptions (and misperceptions) as a premed, and now a medical student. This site also offers an overview of medical profession and medical education for those of you who are considering joining the ranks of the few, the proud, the premeds. I also included many links that I have found to be most useful during my own time as a premedical student. I really appreciate your feedback about this site.

    This web site was created with the sole goal of helping aspiring doctors (aka Pre-Meds) to learn about the process of medical school admissions. To make navigation faster, there are three ways to navigate this site: the pull down menu at the top of each page, "back" and "next" navigation buttons at the bottom of each page and a side-bar menu. Feel free to experiment.

    This web site is mainly targeted to:

    (1) Premeds who are currently in college or who are about to apply.

    This web site will provide you with an in-depth overview of the medical school admissions process. It will provide you with unparalleled wisdom of generations of Successful Medical School Applicants: All the tricks of the trade that will get you where you want to be:

    What you should and just as important should not do from day one in college to taking MCAT (the "live-or-die" exam that gets you into medical school) to preparing for medical school interviews..

    a) High School Students --> want to be a doctor, and one of the best for that matter? Want to be one of the best but not sure if you want to be a doctor?

    For you, we will show the steps entailed in becoming a doctor. What goes into becoming a doctor? What colleges to attend (the best! is good), what to study and more important HOW to study? How to get into the best colleges?

    b) "Non-traditional" applicants -->those who are not "traditional pre-meds" ie did not take premed classes in college or did not go from college straight to medical school.

    If you graduated from college some time ago with majors ranging from Pre-modern Australian Literature to Particle Physics, and woke up one day feeling the calling to become an "MD." God Speed! (But rely on yourself!)

    Whether you're married or not, have children or not, 26 or 62 (and there are students who are close to that age!), we will attempt to provide you with answers to your questions and solid advice. What Post-Baccalaureate Programs should you choose? What are the special things to watch out as a "non-traditional" applicant?
