The Holidays! Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, New Year’s …
How will you use this busy time? If you are in college, final exams will (should!) be your first focus (and maybe papers, labs and projects, too). But, many of you are considering applying to medical school this summer for the entering class of 2015. If so, 2014 through January 2015 is the last time the “old” MCAT will be given, so many are scrambling to prepare to take it. Use your “time off” wisely. Yes, you deserve some fun, but don’t squander your entire winter break on “fun”. Get started taking the FREE AAMC’s Self –Assessment Program (SAP). There are 5 tests, each taking about 3-4 hours. Plan for this and take them BEFORE beginning your MCAT study. The feedback you get is priceless! Now, you will know ALL your weaknesses! Study to improve not only content, but also your test-taking skills!
Have a productive and fulfilling Holiday!
Marcia and Dr. Lewis
Watch for new videos to be posted each month on our Facebook page, including helpful hints for the application process.
Do you really want to be competitive?
1. Plan ... ahead!
2. Address your weaknesses. What are they?
- Science GPA?
- Test (MCAT, DAT) scores, or do you need to take the test for the first time?
- Clinical experiences? How meaningful are they?
- Service? What did you do to help others?
- No close relationships with faculty?
And, how long will it take to really improve? One term? 2 years? Be realistic!
So, whatever quest you have, or issue you want to discuss, Dr. Lewis is the best person to use for personal and academic advice. She's been doing it for 27 years, and "has heard it all". Why don't you let her help you?
imaclewis@lewisassoc.com
This month's question on Dr. Lewis' Facebook page is: "I am interviewing, and was asked: “What other programs did you apply to?” This can feel intrusive, especially if you are applying to both allopathic and osteopathic medical schools"
Getting into medical, dental, pharmacy and the other health professions schools is getting HARDER!
As usually happens in an economic downturn, more people are attracted to stable careers like the health professions…competition is fierce!
How are YOU going to stand out from thousands of applicants?
Warning about student-run websites from Cornell Medical School Admissions staff:
"PLEASE do not encourage students to get information from web sites
administered by other students. From time to time, I look up the studentdoctor.net
site (for interview ratings) and I am appalled at the amount of misinformation
there. Most of the information given there will hurt students more than
help them."
Sick of rumors and false reports? Lewis Associates website has factual information that you can trust.

care jobs remain an economic bright spot. The U.S. Department of
Labor expects the health sector to add more than 1.4 million workers over
the next ten years. Students in college and even high school can start
preparing now for a rewarding health career.

Testimonials
Gail Ruth, mother of Todd Ruth, Entering Class of
2010, Jefferson University Medical School
Just a short note here to let you know how appreciative we are
of all the wonderful help you gave to our son, Todd. He just received
his first 2 acceptances from his top choices, so we couldn't be more pleased.!
You were instrumental in guiding him as to which courses to take and gave
him invaluable help with his essays. Thanks once again for all your help
and guidance.
David and Maureen Lee, parents of Eric Lee, Entering Class of
2009, Saint Louis University School of Medicine
June, 2009: "Dr. Lewis, We just wanted to drop you a quick
note to say thank you for all of your strategic guidance, wise counsel,
encouragement, and mentoring to our son Eric on his journey to get into
medical school. That is quite a process!! Eric definitely took the "road
less traveled", majoring in philosophy, but he worked really hard
to get his science prerequisites under his belt. He benefited so much
from your experience, insight, and when needed, "tough love".
You kept him on track, and we thank you. We think he will be an excellent
physician. Perhaps some day we will meet. Again with gratitude, David
and Maureen Lee."
Michael Nevarez, Entering Class of 2006, Harvard University School
of Medicine, his first choice school
"Dr. Lewis was a wonderful guide and mentor as I embarked
on a medical career a number of years after graduating from Cal Poly (graduated
2001, applied to med school in 2006). She gave an honest assessment of
the strengths and weaknesses of my profile, and more importantly provided
specific and personalized ways in which I could address
my application and the process going forward. Her advice and experience
was invaluable and I am very happy to have worked with her."
Margaret Jolley, Entering Class of 2008, UC San Diego School of
Medicine, her first choice school
"I never would've made it without my weekly conference with the calm,
experienced Dr. Lewis. She kept me sane. I am so grateful for her guidance,
for her editing help, and for the confidence she instilled in me. She
is a genuinely caring committed Mentor who takes pride in helping our
dreams happen. I have urged every fellow student I know to call her. Let
her help you, too!"
Austin Yoder, Entering Class of 2009, Accepted to Uniformed
Services University for Health Sciences, Philadelphia Osteopathic-GA,
West Virginia Osteopathic, Tennessee Osteopathic, and
Kansas City Osteopathic
"I am utterly grateful to Dr. Lewis for all her help, guidance and
mentorship through the application process. I owe a great deal of my success
to date to her team."
Ariel Chairez, Entering Class 2004, Scholarship Awardee, University
of Wisconsin Medical School
"Dr. Lewis, I would like to thank you for all of your help.
Without your guidance, I would not have been accepted
into medical school this year. I am extremely happy to have been accepted
to one of the top medical schools in the country, and to have received
a scholarship of $130,000. For any student who questions the value
of your services, I can say that you have saved me $130,000 in tuition!
Thank you."
John Fiszer (Lawyer), Entering Class of 2005,
University Of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine
Dr. Lewis' note: John was an Assistant State's Prosecuting Attorney in
Chicago, Illinois, when he contacted me in 2004. Finishing his 4th year
of medical school, he said: "I am really enjoying med school, and
I am thankful to Dr. Lewis for her help. Her methodical, disciplined approach
to the med school application process, as well as her insight into the
transition to med school were right on target."
Ali Warrick, Advisee
"Dear Dr. Lewis,
I appreciate your help in my transfer process to UC Berkeley. You have
been an integral part of the transition, and I would like to thank you
for your time and efforts. I know that your work is very thorough
and well thought out. In addition, I believe that you really care about
your students, and believe in each student's "right fit" in
a school. You lead many people toward a brighter future, and I would like
to say, 'Thank You!' for your contribution toward my academic goals. This
process has been much more enjoyable with your guidance. Thank you for
being so good at what you do."
S, Entering Class 2008, accepted with full scholarship
to Mayo Medical School
"I cannot thank Dr. Lewis enough for her support and invaluable advice.
When I came to her, I was apprehensive about the formidable task of applying
to medical school especially with my past academic and personal hardships.
She helped me see that overcoming these difficulties was a testament to
my strength, dedication, and diligence. One of the most surprising outcomes
of our relationship was that she was effective in helping me develop a
more positive self-image and conquer many of my insecurities. Without
her guidance and letter of evaluation, I would not have been able to earn
an acceptance to Mayo Medical School, which granted me a merit scholarship
that covers almost all of my tuition. I truly appreciate all of her help.
She went above and beyond her role as an Advisor by becoming a Mentor
to me. She is absolutely the best in the business!"
Be Competitive
In order to be a competitive Class of 2015 or 2016 applicant,
you need to submit a quality application as evaluated by your clinical,
service and other experiences and your GPA-MCAT/DAT/GRE, etc. profile

you through the difficult year-long application process. If you use Dr.
Lewis' advising, we begin preparation early in the year BEFORE submission
of your application!
EARLY is always better, removes much of the pressure, and allows time to solve unforeseen problems and challenges.

Loan Repayment and Forgiveness Programs May Help You Afford a Health Sciences Degree
One of the most important principles of responsible borrowing is remembering never to borrow more than you really need. Beyond that first and most important principle, responsible borrowing also includes the need to educate yourself on all available options for managing your student loans after you finish your health sciences degree. Loan repayment programs and forgiveness programs may help.

 Chelsea and her husband Everett Chelsea, MD, Entering Class of 2006, Drexel University School of Medicine, Ob/Gyn Residency at Abington Memorial Hospital, Gynecology Oncology Fellowship at the University of Iowa November 24, 2013: “Hey Dr Lewis, so here is the update: I graduated Drexel University College of Medicine, Program of Integrated Learning, in 2010.

success story
 Steven Perez, DO Steven Perez, DO, Entering Class of 2008, Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, PGY1 Family Medicine Resident at St. Joseph's Hospital, Phoenix, AZ Being a 4th year medical student was an exciting experience that represented the end of a long road to becoming a doctor. I was able to take courses, which focused on areas of medicine in my career niche. I took audition rotations in Family Medicine to get to know residency programs out there. This gave me an opportunity to take courses that were interesting, yet productive, in building my career. For example, I took 2 outpatient pediatric rotations to broaden my experience in Family Medicine and the principles of Primary Care. Applying to residency was like applying to medical school again. I remembered the days of applying to medical school, and having Dr. Lewis, my coach as a premed, assist me throughout the process. Now, I had to apply independently, and use the skills of applying to medical school toward applying to residency. It was similar in that I was applying to multiple programs and I had to strategically apply where I felt I would be the best fit. Because of my interest in Family Medicine, I selected the “audition” rotations for where I wanted to interview. It was like a huge dating game, in that the process involved getting to know various programs while demonstrating what I had to offer them as a person. Once the application submission process opened in September 2012, the interview offers immediately came. It was exciting to receive these invitations, yet daunting in coordinating interviews to minimize conflicts with my medical school rotation curriculum. Then, the fun part came when I traveled for interviews. All the programs I applied for were in Arizona and California. I was able to meet people on the interview trail, and saw some of the same applicants during this process. These programs also offered dinners and social gatherings the night before the interview to get to know their Residents in a social setting. Also, I remembered what it was like interviewing for medical school. However, applying to residency was less stressful than applying for medical school, because I knew at the very end of the process, I would match somewhere for residency, unlike for medical school, where applying did not guarantee an admission. Then, the day came when interview season ended in February 2013, and I had to create and submit a rank list. I had to use my best judgment in deciding which programs I would enjoy working for, and which programs would make the best fit for me. After submitting my final rank list, I waited for match day, March 15, 2013, which was a large milestone in being a doctor. I did not sleep well the night before, in anticipation for one of the most important days of my life. I remember opening up the results on the computer and finding out that I matched at my top pick, which was St. Joseph’s Hospital Family Medicine Residency, where I had had an audition rotation and a wonderful experience. I celebrated the match day weekend by taking a weekend trip to Las Vegas. From March 15, 2013, until graduation day was a restful 2-month period where I could relax. On May 30, 2013, my dreams came true of finally receiving my diploma from medical school. During that day, I reflected on the process of being a premed hoping to get into medical school one day, to the reality check of high expectations by the medical school curriculum and wondering if I will survive, to wrapping up my last rotation I would take as a medical student. All the sacrifice, hope, faith, and effort paid off on this day. Soon after graduation, I started my first day of residency on June 26, 2013. This was a transition from being a medical student to being a doctor. My responsibility levels changed significantly, in that I can practice medicine and write order, which I could not do in medical school. Also, I had to move from simply reporting information as a medical student, to making medical decisions as a physician. Medical decision-making is now daunting, since I make decisions which others in my health care team rely on and trust. Now, I feel like a real doctor, as the leader of my health care team. In addition to being a 1st year Resident, I am planning a wedding in 2014. I am marrying my fiancée, Dar, who has supported me emotionally and spiritually during my endeavor of being a doctor since my first day as a premedical student. I learned from her that it takes a lot of patience to be a significant other of a person pursuing medicine. Because of her commitment and support during my process of being a doctor, I felt that this wedding would be a perfect way to seal my devotion. Her experience has also taught me that the significant other of a doctor has to work just as hard as the doctor. |
