could I suggest the following books:

A Career In Medicine, Do You Have What It Takes? White. ISBN: 1853154628. A guide for young people that provides an insight into what medicine involves and the personal qualities that are required. A range of issues are addressed including entry requirements, the interview process, ethical issues, choosing a medical school and various career options within medicine.
The Insiders Guide To Medical School. 2005 edition not yet in print. 2004 edition ISBN: 0856608734 "Getting Into" course guides offer up-to-date information which explain the procedures for getting into higher education.

Any one short listed their prospective medical schools?
I still don't know whether to go for a PBL.. I think integrated with a bit of early clinical experience would suit me, but PBL would improve my communcation and team work skills.
I also don't know whether to put a 5th and 6th choice down. My 2nd choice would be Pharmacy eek so many decisions, so little time -

Heh cool choices- do you live around/near London?) Its a big risk i m takin though coz i know so many ppl get rejected. U live in Midlands? I never knew applying to med school would be so complicated wot with all the work exp, volun, bmat, breaking med news but i guess it has to be more intense than other careers.

Unless you are totally sure that your PS will paint a brilliant picture of yourself (that is not reliant on any interview performances) I would advise you to think a bit more carefully. (That is, if those reasons you posted are the only reasons you have, which to me, seems rather unlikey)

if however you still arent really sure about doing medicine, it is a good idea to read through books, although really you should already know if medicine is the course for you.
