 A little over hyped February 5, 2010
R. Ramos
Overall good for the Pre-PA who has done little to no research on the profession or admission into PA programs. I bought this book along with others in order to prepare for PA school applications and interviews. Though it is somewhat helpful in a general sense, I felt that it wasn't as concise as it should have been with the author talking a lot about himself in many section intros. It also has some out of date information and has a lot of information that is commonly found online. IN the end it didn't give me any AH-HAH moments.
 Very helpful February 1, 2010

I found this book to be extremely helpful. The book is comprehensively written to walk you through the steps of the application process starting at the very beginning with essays, then interviews, and even the "what happens next if I am not accepted?" I purchased this book late in the game (after I had sent my applications and found out that I was invited for interviews), but the interview prep section was amazingly helpful and entirely worth the purchase. This book has several pages of possible questions alongside appropriate answers with insights that allow you to formulate your own personalized and thoughtful answers. I am glad I purchased this book because I was accepted to P.A. school, and it may be due to its assistance with my interview preparation!

I love Amazon.com and the shipping was excellent and prompt! This book is also wonderful. It gave me helpful tips for especially the interview for PA school. It must have worked because I got into the school of my choice! I would recommend this to anyone pursuing this career!

I have a master degree in special education. I currently work as a teaching consultant for school systems in my area. But.... I'm thinking of a career change to be a PA. I ordered this book and signed up at a local college to start finishing my prerequisites. This book has been great thus far. It has gotten me to start being reflective about which type of PA I want to be. It also gives great ideas about the interview process. I'll let you know when I get in. I really, really suggest this book.
Very informative book. Worth the money spent. September 14, 2009

Only good book of its kinda and probably the only book of its kind. I highly recommend this for anyone serious about PA school. Even if you do all your research online and prob forums this book will still help you.
