Very exciting news for premed students!
The Medical School Admissions Requirement Book (MSAR) is now available online for only $15! This book has all sorts of good information in the introductory chapters about medical school admissions, specialties, financing your medical education, etc. that is a great read for premeds at any stage (and – by the way, these chapters are free online at www.aamc.org). So why pay the $15, you ask? Because the remainder of the book gives you information about each allopathic medical school in the US and Canada. You can read school’s mission statements, curricular highlights, and admissions statistics all in one place.
For those of you applying to osteopathic medical schools, you can download the Osteopathic Medical College Information Book (OMCIB???) for FREE at www.aacom.org.

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the new online version of the Medical School Admission Requirements (MSAR®) guide, which offers students access to more comprehensive information and data.
We’re are also excited to announce the launch of the Medical School Directory (https://services.aamc.org/30/msar ), which features some of the same search functionality of MSAR Online, as well as general information, contact information, and urls for each of our member medical schools and the combined baccalaureate/MD programs featured in MSAR. The Directory will soon be linked from various places in the AAMC’s web site currently linking to medical school listings.
MSAR is now Available In Print and Online
This year, the MSAR is available two ways:
Printed Guidebook At $25, the price of MSAR printed guidebook remains the same this year. The school detail pages have been condensed to a single page, with most tabular data available only online.

Users are given one year of unlimited access to MSAR Online and can perform advanced searches, sort search results by a variety of criteria, save favorites, and compare schools side-by-side.
