What are your thoughts regarding MSAR vs startclass?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Regarding what specifically? MSAR is an essential. StartClass is not.

Is this even a question. MSAR has the actual data. Startclass is a website with a questionable grasp on reality.

Not even close MSAR is worth the money. Startclass is a nice idea but right now lacks the data required to make a comprehensive school list. You need to know where you are 10%-90% for schools, what programs are offered, what part of your application (Research, volunteering) is catered to the school.

Bite the $25 and get the yearly subscription for MSAR. Apply once and get it over with. Reapplying costs a lot more.

Startclass, of course. Because it tells you which medical school has warmer summers and colder winters. Thats the most important factor when making a school list.

In all reality, Startclass is absolute garbage. MSAR is far better

They're not even comparable or should be used in the same sentence. Start class is trash.
 
The MSAR should be considered the required textbook for the course on applying to medical school, a course which only 40% of the people pass. It is at most 0.0135% of the cost of medical school (assuming $200K total). BTW, the AMCAS Instruction Manual, which is a free download, should be considered the study guide for the first exam in the course.
Honestly people should buy a copy their freshman year of college to give them an idea. People should also read all the aamc documents about the process etc.
