Riassunto

Every year, tens of thousands of pre-medical and pre-dental applicants are denied admission into Medical or Dental school. Despite skyrocketing tuition costs often in excess of $50,000, more and more students enter college every year with the high hopes of becoming a doctor or a dentist. Looking on as their children undertake this difficult journey are scores of concerned parents. Searching for assistance during this process, they may find a variety of unsatisfactory resources: books written by out-of-touch doctors decades removed from college, fragmented advice from anonymous sources online, and columns written by those that have never even gained admittance to medical or dental school. Undeniable: The Guide to Getting into Medical and Dental School is a self-help book for the pre-health student written by students fresh out of the pre-med trenches. Joshua and DeAngelo use a personalized perspective built around their experiences along the road to Medical and Dental School at the University of Michigan. Undeniable will walk any student the preparation and application process, highlighting the typical pitfalls and distractions of a college student in the digital age ? all of which they have encountered and dealt with at first-hand experience. From energy drinks and all-nighters to mastering the MCAT and DAT, Undeniable leaves no student left behind. Have no fear of being denied from the health profession; soon you too will be wearing the white coat.
