Premed Prep: Advice From a Medical School Admissions Dean by Sunny Nakae - 2021

Rutgers University Press, 2021. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. In this accessible guide for students and families, author Sunny Nakae, a medical school admissions dean, takes an approach emphasizing personal development rather than a checklist. Writing in a conversational tone, she gives an overview of the process of becoming a physician and offers guidance on premed courses, applications, essays, people skills, and maximizing a gap year. Of special note, the book integrates tips for first-generation, minority, and undocumented students, and one section gives advice to parents, friends, and advisers. The author is affiliated with the University of California-Riverside’s School of Medicine. (2021 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
