    A book has been written by current Rice Seniors who will be going to medical school next year. The book is over 75 pages long and includes sections written for Rice premeds on how to get into medical school. It will be available through Rice Academic Advising and is NOT being sold for profit. It covers: becoming the best applicant, detailed timeline, the MCAT, sample personal statements, MD/PhD, interviewing and much more! Email Brian Schwab for more info.
