1: So-So
A decent resource, but you can certainly get through the interview process without it. And it's not worth $17.00, please buy a used copy. The book is fairly thin and does not expose you to any mystical secrets.

2: Accepted!
Amazing little book, short and to the point. Lots of great advice about how to generally prepare and some good tidbits about some very specific things. It got me in. Highly recommended.

3: I like the approach.
I like the way in which this book approaches the medical school interview. It groups all the possible questions you might be asked into just a few groups that allow you to attack each question in a way that allows both you and the interviewer to stay relevant and on track. The book is relatively small - I think the author did his best to keep redundant, extraneous information out. I'm a fan of the "Big 3" concept in this book.
This is a nice book to have, but in the end it will all depend on whether or not all your faculties are in check on interview day.

4: Great little book.
This seems like a great little book. It explain very strategic and practical ways to prepare (and practice) four your medical school interview. It also goes into the motivations of what the interviewers are really trying to find our throught the interview process.
I gave it a 4 because I think it would have been nice to have something on the MMI (Multiple Mini-Interview) format. Perhaps it's too new a format and isn't used enough (yet) to justify giving it time. But since there is a fair amount of research showing it to provide a better indicator than the traditional format, I would hope that someone would include it at some point.

5: Excellent book demystifying the medical school interview
This book is a quick read and does an excellent job at explaining the basics of what medical schools are looking for, how to realistically present yourself at the interview, and provide strategies for formulating your answers. Great advice on verbalizing your professional and personal portfolio in a way that helps you stand out as a candidate. This book is definitely worth your time and money.
