I put this book together because I knew that there was nothing out there like it, and many pre-med students were missing out. Unlike many, I was lucky to have two older brothers and a father as physicians. When it came my turn, I had many years of first hand experience at my disposal, and boy did it come in handy. The experiences of my family in applying and getting accepted into medical schools showed me ways to take steps ahead of other applicants. When it was finally time for me to apply to medical school, I had a lot to talk about on applications and interviews, and ultimately choices on where to go. The purpose of this book is to put together the experiences of my two eldest brothers, my father, classmates, friends, and myself who have successfully applied and entered medical school and provide it to you, the pre-med student. Unlike other books, this book focuses most importantly on developing your pre-med package, and guiding you through this very important first step in your medical career. There are many ways to follow this book. If you have gotten to this book early, and are still in high school then youre on the right track. For those who are already in college, and just now encountering this book, start off with the chapters respective to your current year. However, it may still not be a bad idea to briefly review earlier chapters. There you will find information about choosing majors, schools, and more that may still be important for you. Look over the table of contents, and follow deeper into specific sections. Remember, no matter at what stage you are starting, at this point on, dedication is the key. Follow this book with strong dedication and it will show you the road to where you want to be. Good luck. Andres
