This book is extremely helpful. It has great tips and methods for succeeding in any medical school interview. It gives a good perspective on what a lot of admission committees are looking for. If you have an interview coming up, I recommend reading this in addition to your other prep work.

Very Nice Little Book, January 11, 2007
This book proved to be very helpful in my preparation for the Med. School interviews. The size of it, the structure, and the language of this book make it instrumental for those who are nervous and disoriented in their last days before the interview. Very good book!

A Powerful Resource - You Won't Find Another Book Like It, August 16, 2006
Dr. Fleenor's book provides a clear, concise, plan for medical school interview success! As a PhD professor in a healthcare professional program, and someone who has served on admissions committees, reviewed hundreds of applications, and interviewed over a hundred students, I feel I can say that this is a resource no medical student applicant should be without. The strategies, if worked through and applied personally, will no doubt increase an applicant's confidence, communication, and poise as they navigate the admissions and interview process. The personal insights and unique stories in the "Tails from the Trail" will inspire many readers that they too can make their dream of becoming a physician a reality!

Especially if you think you are under-prepared, December 1, 2006
I tend to think if you worked through all the excersizes and prep in this book, you would be decidedly less apprehensive.
Basically, its written by an MD who has been part of interviewing process for a number of years, and is just really sipmlifying and demystifying the process. As such, much of the information is basic, but if you didn't think of one of the questions he mentions, you'll be glad you prepared for it. Major points include a lot of inforation that helps you get into the head of your interviewer; and a good number of questions and issues you need to sit down and really think about, and plot out basic responses to; because its clear they will come up in some form.
If you have already created a pretty comprehensive personal inventory of strengths and weaknesses you'll feel comfortable talking about, thoughts on various aspects of medicine (and your motivations and abilities within it), vocational and avocational experiences which demonstrated certain qualities you are trying to broadcast, etc, etc . . . then you may not need it.
Otherwise, this book may jog your memory to create much better prep materials for yourself, so you'll be much more grounded and comfortable when the interview comes.
