Welcome to Lewis Associates!

September is when schools usually begin. If Class of 2009 applicants submitted their applications in a timely fashion earlier this summer, then they are in the middle of completing all their secondary essays and applications.  This part of the application process is actually the most time consuming and most difficult for many applicants for whom writing is hard. Give it lots of time and do an excellent job. 

Are you ready?

Track Record
Entering Class of 2008...96% acceptance
Entering Class of 2007...97% acceptance

Many whom we advise may not yet be ready, and need to develop some aspect of their background to become competitive. Best to apply when you are ready, be competitive, and do it ONLY ONCE!

Let's work together to make that one-time application successful…contacting us earlier is better so we can develop your strategy and address all those difficult problems…months or years prior to application. Why not set yourself up for success, rather than toy with the proposition of failure?

Testimonials
Margaret Jolley, Entering Class of 2008, Accepted to 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!"

LaDawn Hackett, last month's Success Story and Entering Class of 2008: "Thank you for helping my dream of attending MCG become a reality.  Words cannot express my gratitude!"

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, 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, Entering Class 2010 Advisee
"Dear Dr. Lewis,
I would like to tell you how much 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 assistance and 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 more than a year ago, 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 2009 or 2010 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--in a timely fashion. This requires a well thought-out strategy to carry 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.

(See Also June 2006 Success Story)

NOTE FROM ASHLEY TO DR. LEWIS 8/21/08:
"Started 3rd year clerkships with Pediatrics and just finished that up with the shelf exam on Friday.  This week I began Ob/Gyn and am still trying to orient myself to it.  I find that each service is significantly different in how they do day-to-day things, which could be universal if they all figured it out together, and each location (outpatient vs inpatient vs labor and delivery vs repro endocrinology, etc) is also a bit different.  I saw that with Peds, too...

So far so good, I think, but ask me as I start to get exam grades back.  As far as I know, my clinical comments (from attendings, residents, and AIs) were at a high pass or honors level for Peds.  The shelf could potentially pull me down, but I'm not sure how it went!  It was tougher than I expected (hit completely different subject areas), and I had done over 1000 Qs to prep for it.  We shall see, though, as everyone I talked to feels the same way!

I've passed Step 1... and am already planning on taking Step 2 early next year (July, or by Aug 1st anyway).  I'm studying all year and have already bought a question bank, plus have pre-test books for the shelf exams (which are essentially Step 2 broken into subject areas).  I plan on giving myself a fighting chance, or as much of one as I can muster.

So, I started doing research in the Plastic Surgery lab in October of my 1st year and got a grant to continue it last summer through this summer... it will probably end in a publication and I'm thinking about what sort of extension of it I can do to take the next step... something more translational I hope.

I mentioned I've been teaching (not anymore, though-- clerkships are not conducive to any outside activities!!) at a local college-- Anatomy and Physiology I and II, mostly to nursing or other allied health students, but some bio and general studies majors.  I loved it!  Nothing like watching the light bulb go on, or watching someone discover that they really enjoy something, or working through helping people with learning disabilities (including undiagnosed ones) :o)"

TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA

"I was in the township of Witbank...outside of Johannesburg in South Africa for 2 weeks.  Our trip was geared toward public health,as opposed to running medical clinics.  We spent our time working with 2 social worker type groups: Asiphilenkale and Isibinde.  These were both groups of women who volunteer to visit patients and children in their homes to make sure meds are being taken, food and blankets are available, etc.  Also visited an orphanage, as well as an AIDS hospice.  Wonderful experience!"

Against All Odds: Tracy Reese, African American Entering Class of 2008, UCLA-Drew

Tracy Reese
Tracy Reese

I was born in San Francisco, where I spent my early childhood. At age 6, my family moved across The Bay to East Oakland. I was the oldest of four children and I took responsibility for my younger siblings at a very early age. I helped my mother by babysitting, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and cooking meals on a regular basis, while she worked diligently to provide for her children.

I must admit that I was a very brave child. While caring for my siblings, I took charge by calling 911 when medical emergencies occurred and I often took my siblings to get medical care while my mother worked. My experiences with healthcare providers were always positive; they always made me feel safe and valued.

I feel very fortunate that I was raised in one of the most diverse and beautiful areas in the country. I still remember the colors and sounds of the Dragon Dance at the Chinese New Year Festival that took place at Sanchez Elementary School in San Francisco when I was in kindergarten. I had friends from many cultures and ethnicities, and I find that these early cross-cultural experiences continue to serve me well as I grow and develop professionally.

I was raised in a socially, economically, and educationally-disadvantaged household and community. I recall living in the “projects”, another name for public housing, and occasionally being without food and electricity. My childhood was very challenging by all accounts, and by age 5, I decided that I was going to college to escape poverty. Doing well in school became my primary focus and upon graduating from high school, I achieved my goal. I was accepted to UC Berkeley, UC Davis, and UCLA. I chose to attend UC Davis.

Leaving Oakland and thriving in the very rigorous academic environment at UC Davis was extremely challenging for me. I was the first in my immediate family to attend college and I did not have all of the support that I needed to perform to my fullest potential. Some people discouraged me, telling me that I was not going to be successful or amount to anything in life. This fueled my lack of confidence and lowered my self-esteem. I struggled academically at UC Davis and made slow academic progress. However, despite all of the obstacles, including not receiving any financial aid and having to work 35-40 hours per week during my last 3 years, I persevered and graduated with a B.S. degree in Genetics with a minor in Psychology.

Immediately upon graduation, I secured an internship at the Parke-Davis Laboratory for Molecular Genetics in Alameda, CA, where I learned basic techniques in Molecular Biology. Under the direction of my mentor, Dr. David Ross, I participated in many activities, including the Journal Club. Through this experience, I became more knowledgeable about the application of genetic principles and became more confident in my academic ability.

I also signed up for a modeling class in an effort to build my confidence and prepare for success in the professional world. I participated in a variety of shows that were fundraisers for community service organizations, such as Oakland Children’s Hospital and the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation. Modeling was a very rewarding experience for me because I was part of a team working toward common goals: self improvement and community service.

I subsequently held a variety of positions in the Biotechnology Industry, and worked as a Teacher in Oakland and a Real Estate Agent. I often held two or three jobs at a time because I was paying off debts incurred while earning my degree at UC Davis, while simultaneously exploring career options. During this time, I also volunteered on Saturday nights at the ER at Highland Hospital, a Level One Trauma Center in Oakland.  This was a pivotal experience because I discovered my passion for serving uninsured and disenfranchised patients. I enjoyed working as a valuable member of a diverse, yet cohesive team. I learned that treating patients with dignity and respect is a gift. This experience was so rewarding that I decided that becoming a physician was the best career choice for me. 

I thought that my chances of gaining admission to medical school were nearly impossible. My academic record from UC Davis was not stellar. Looking at my transcript was very painful. However, nearly three years after graduation, I brought my official transcript to Ed Dagang, the Director of Admissions and Outreach at UC Davis SOM. He reviewed my record and told me that I had a chance. We immediately mapped out my plan of action. 

I set my plan in motion when I enrolled at CSU East Bay. While working up to 60 hours per week as a QA Analyst at a major pharmaceutical company, I attended college to improve my academic record. I took my job as a QA Analyst very seriously, and in the process, I enhanced my communication and leadership skills. My hard work was recognized when I was awarded the Standards of Leadership Gold Award for Interdependent Partnering.

I stayed motivated and networked with other students by attending pre-med conferences and seminars. I met Dr. Cynthia Lewis at a SUMMA conference at Stanford University, one of the largest pre-med conferences on the West Coast. I knew in my heart that I wanted to pursue a career in medicine, but I also knew that I needed specialized help to reach my goal.

Our initial meeting included a detailed review of my entire life, in addition to my academic record. Dr. Lewis believed that I had a chance and we began the daunting task of helping me to become a more competitive applicant. Our next step was to contact professors and begin collecting letters of recommendation. Dr. Lewis also recommended that I apply to MEDPREP, a rigorous post-baccalaureate program at SIU Carbondale.

Dr. Lewis strongly encouraged me through the challenging process of working up to 60 hours per week while improving my academic record through earning a second B.S. degree in Biochemistry at CSU East Bay. Immediately after earning my second degree, I relocated to Carbondale, IL to attend MEDPREP.

At MEDPREP, I engaged in a rigorous curriculum and honed my test-taking, time-management, and study skills. I also gained additional clinical experience through volunteering at Abundant Health Resource Clinic, a free clinic for uninsured clients, and through shadowing an Obstetrician/Gynecologist, Dr. Walker, and an Urologist, Dr. Stokes. These experiences reinforced my commitment to become a physician who serves my community.

While at MEDPREP, I continued to work with Dr. Lewis. She was a constant source of inspiration and personalized attention. Even when I encountered what seemed to be road blocks, she always supported me and I am truly grateful.  Dr. Lewis connected me with Dr. Jim Yeh, a distinguished hospitalist and internist, during the summer that I took the MCAT, in an effort to help me gain additional clinical experience. She also helped me network with several of her alumni.

Dr. Lewis coached me throughout my MCAT preparation, helping me to overcome test anxiety and provided me with an excellent strategy for success. I worked especially hard to prepare for the MCAT because I wanted to return home to California for medical school, and I knew that a good score would improve my chances of not only getting into medical school, but could afford me the opportunity to come home. I was extremely fortunate to earn an excellent MCAT score. That score was the key that opened the door to my future.

Dr. Lewis assisted me throughout the entire the application process and prepared me for every single interview. I never thought that I would be invited to 15 interviews and offered 9 acceptances. I had the desire and determination to enter medical school and Dr. Lewis provided me with a roadmap, unwavering encouragement, and support which helped me realize my dream! On June 11th, I got the call from my first choice medical school: UCLA-Drew. I love everything about the curriculum and the support that I have in this unique medical education program. The mission of the school is my professional mission: to help the underserved.  I was also awarded a sizeable scholarship by UCLA.

Once again, I must thank Dr. Lewis because she encouraged me to write my Letter of Intent to Matriculate to the Admissions Committee. At the Charles Drew University White Coat Ceremony, Dr. Reid, my interviewer, told me “It’s a good thing that you called…What’s more important is that you were in touch with someone who knew to tell you to call.” I will never forget Dr. Lewis and the magnitude of everything she did for me. I would not be here without her help.

I tell my family, friends, and other aspiring doctors that Dr. Lewis is absolutely the best pre-professional health Advisor in the world! I highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about achieving their dream of becoming a doctor.  I truly appreciate all of her constructive advice and her consistent commitment to providing personalized attention to every detail of my application process. She helped me develop the skills and attributes necessary to become successful in achieving my dream. Thank you, Dr. Lewis!!!

question of the month
By Dr. Cynthia Lewis, PhD

How Do I Report an Alcohol Violation While Applying to Medical School?

Question: "I started my application! I have a question though... They ask a question about if you have had any institutional action. I did last year. I was written up by student life for an alcohol violation...but it's not on my transcript because it was a one-time offense. I mean it sounds like I need to say I did have one. Will this hurt me? And, will they find out? How sneaky are these people?"

Response on a Listserv: "I am a faculty and admissions committee member at a mid-western School of Medicine.  At our school, the admissions process enjoys significant autonomy and is expected to make insightful and impartial decisions concerning who is admitted.  The dean receives reports from the admissions committee, but does not participate materially in the process beyond providing executive oversight.  I would be surprised if the "Northeast Deans" or any other medical school deans spend much time attempting to micromanage the admissions process at their respective schools.  A well-designed admissions process should provide a Dean with a means to prevent, deflect, or at least mitigate undue political, financial, or alumni interference in the integrity of the admissions decisions.  Obviously, if asked, any medical school Dean is going to signal that he/she would view admission of applicants at risk for alcoholism unfavorably.

An 18-year-old freshman caught in the act of drinking a beer in the dorm, who is subsequently dealt with through a compassionate, progressive internal university process, and learns his/her lesson, does not bother me terribly, especially if he/she shows contrition, and is able to articulate what was learned through that process. A 21-year-old rising senior who is wrestling with the ethical question of whether to fully disclose an infraction, however minor, and who views admissions personnel as "sneaky" bothers me a great deal.

Throughout a physician's career, there are numerous requirements to fully disclose, including when seeking a state license to practice, DEA credentials, privileges on a hospital staff, or participation on an insurance panel.  Anyone choosing to enter a licensed profession needs to become comfortable with full disclosure and telling the complete truth at every opportunity."

Another Response: "As one of those "Northeast" schools, we take very seriously ethics, professionalism, maturity and personal responsibility as desirable qualities in our applicants. We all probably did something stupid when we were growing up -- if that experience taught us something positive that helped us become more mature and responsible, then all is well."

We will feature an important question each month. Please submit one that interests you for Dr. Lewis to answer. Send your questions to imaclewis@lewisassoc.com with 'Newsletter Question' in the subject line.
