Thanks in advance for your cooperation with these items!!
Where are you in your journey to a health profession?
In high school? (yes, we advise high school applicants, particularly, those
interested in BA-MD programs)
Just starting college? This is a scary time.
Moving into your difficult upper division sciences as a junior?
Re-entering as an "older" non-traditional student?
We help prepare those of you submitting applications for medical residency
programs too!
Whatever niche you fit, we advise students just like you.
Class of 2008: If you haven't yet started getting your letters of
recommendation/evaluation and writing your application personal statement,
then you are BEHIND! Are you REALLY ready for an application? Many whom I
advise are really not yet 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…earlier
is better so we can develop your strategy and address all those difficult
problems … months or even years prior to application.
Why not set yourself up for success, rather than toy with the proposition
of failure?
Thanks from Dr. Adrian Miranda, Class 1994, Faculty at Medical College of
Wisconsin
"I have never really taken the time to express my sincere gratitude for
everything you did for me. I have often mentioned your name during talks and
to friends and family as the person who was the most influential in my path
to success. I can’t tell you how many times my wife has answered that
question right on the "newlywed" board game. Without your guidance
and support I would never have accomplished my goals. I am so glad to hear
you are doing well and I want you to know that I still often think of you
and the years at SDSU. I am now married with two children (Alex 3 and Sofia
2). My wife Heidi is from Madison and much to my dismay, she does not plan
on moving to California any time soon...I wish you the best and I hope that
you have a wonderful party surrounded by people who love you and whose lives
you have changed. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your
family and please stay in touch."
Your friend and Protégé,
Adrian Miranda, M.D.
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatalogy and Nutrition
Medical College of Wisconsin
Thanks From Andrea Casillas, entering the Michigan State University
ABLE Program in fall 2006
"Dr. Lewis, Thank you so much. I am very grateful to have had you along
my side during this stressful year. I appreciate all your work and patience!
I wish you the very best. May God bless you always. Thank you very, very much."
Andrea
Thanks from an Ex-Prosecuting Attorney, now medical student
Background: John was an Assistant
State’s Attorney (prosecutor) in Chicago, Illinois, when he
contacted me in 2004. Now in medical school, he says: "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."
John Fiszer, University Of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine

FEATURED NEWS
MCAT Registration problem
Source: AAMC
Date: March 28, 2007
"This year's registration has been especially aggravating at times, because we have experienced a technical issue that displays to the examinee as "no seats available" when seats are indeed available. When this happens, we notify advisors as soon as we have confirmed that the problem has reared its ugly head again. It did reoccur yesterday. The problem is ongoing this morning." Registration for April through September test dates is now open.
Applicants can start entering data about May 3 and should be about to submit the 2008 AMCAS around June 5.
Biggest problems in writing the AMCAS:
1. Missed application deadlines due to inaccurate, incomplete or missing transcripts, coursework errors, missing grades, courses and class status
2. typos and errors in the essay, experiences and other text
3. incorrect email address (note that you need an address that will be available the entire year of application if you graduate and lose your college address. You also need an address that will not send your AMCAS emails into a Spam or Bulk folder.)There are 3 new questions on the AMCAS for criminal background checks about felony convictions, misdemeanors, and military discharge.
You will be asked if you plan to take an MCAT between May and September of 2007.
You can now change your date of birth and sex during the entire application process.Texas Medical and Dental Schools Application Service (TMDSAS) 2008 Application Update
Key Dates: The Application will launch Tuesday, May 1, 2007. The application deadline is Monday, October 1, 2007, at midnight CT.
Applicants should not have any transcripts or evaluation letters sent until after May 1. They MUST have requested their Personal ID Number (PIN) before having any materials sent to TMDSAS. Transcripts should be accompanied by the TMDSAS Transcript Request Form (http://www.utsystem.edu/tmdsas/TMDSAS%20Transcript%20Request%20Form.pdf)

Podiatric Medicine
www.aacpm.org
I attended a 2-day conference at the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric
Medicine in Chicago at the beginning of March. Podiatric medicine is a branch
of the medical sciences concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions
affecting the human foot, ankle and their governing and related structures,
including the local manifestations of systemic conditions (e.g. diabetes).
A podiatric physician is to the foot what a dentist is to the mouth or an
ophthalmologist is to the eye...a specialist who has undergone lengthy, thorough
study to become uniquely well qualified to treat a specific part of the body.

s t o r i e s
by Dr. Cynthia Lewis
Dr. Michael Manzano, MSY 4, George
Washington University Medical School, Radiology Resident-to-be at George Washington
University Medical School
Michael is the first in his extended family to attend college and the only member he is aware of who even considered becoming a professional, or have a ‘career’ of any kind. He is tri-cultural -- Mexican-American and Filipino-American. His maternal grandfather was a Navy submariner and their family of 5 moved often. His mother is Mexican-American, and his father is a Filipino-American who was born and grew up in Guam.
Michael’s parents lived in an uncle’s home in San Diego County with as many as 15 people at any one time. His father joined the Navy (something like 90% of Filipino-American males aged 35-55 in San Diego are in the Navy or retired from the Navy) and is now retired. His mother does clerical work part-time while raising 5 children. Michael is the eldest.
Michael’s happiest times were playing with neighbors and his many cousins while growing up. Michael says, “The most memorable and unique experience from elementary school was the end-of-the-year Olympics. These events have become a school tradition. Students compete in events they choose, like 50 and 100-yard dashes, 2 mile races, team relay races, baseball throws, obstacle courses, and the long jump. At the end, there is a ceremony to recognize the winning competitors with colorful ribbons.”
Michael’s extended family met on weekend outings frequently. His fondest thoughts of his father are of fishing. He says, “My cousin and I took a particular interest in fishing. While the others were off playing, he and I were fixing new fishing rigs, having casting contests, and catching mackerel. Sometimes my father and my uncle took us fishing on the pier for late night fish bites.” However, Michael says, “During middle school, my father was either out on West pack or stationed elsewhere. I had no direction, and started to hang out with friends often. My cousin and I spent our weekends fishing at Chollas Lake or at the Spring Valley swapmeet collecting baseball cards. My mother had a difficult time while my father was away. She had back surgery, worked at a check-cashing store, and raised a house full of kids. By this time, our family included two sisters. I remember that my Grandpa’s second wife came from Arizona to help clean and cook for us. By the time my father was permanently stationed in San Diego, family life changed. I felt so distant from my father, and I think my brothers and sisters felt this even more than I did. I think lack of trust and financial burdens as well as physical distance created a difficult marriage.”
In high school, social development was Michael’s primary focus. Michael graduated with a 1.94 GPA and did not take the SAT exam. After high school, he took many part-time jobs (fast food, janitor, sales) and saved money to buy a “nice" car, which he then sold to help support his parents and siblings. He says, “I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I started to attend college part-time, but honestly did not know what I wanted to do. I maintained that the best thing for me was to find a decent paying job. That was my priority. I found a job at Pepsi-Cola; the pay was good and I worked plenty of hours. Unfortunately, the schedule was variable which is reflected in my community college grades. My friend recommended that I get a job at Qualcomm. He convinced me that I could advance in the company, perhaps even making it a career. I started working the night shift, then moved to days in the middle of a semester. I advanced to a leadership position before being part of a massive layoff.”
Michael then considered completing a two-year degree in Environmental Technology. When he started earning good grades, his counselor encouraged Michael to complete a bachelor’s degree in ecology which would train him for similar jobs in environmental technology. Michael says, “Now, with some direction, I dove into difficult biology and chemistry classes determined to do well, and I did! I noticed that my interests had changed along the way. I was intrigued with how chemistry and biology applied to the human body, more than to environmental sciences. I was always under the impression that becoming a doctor or a lawyer or any professional was an intangible dream for me. Besides, I didn’t know anyone who was a professional like that. After meeting with my counselor again, he gave me confidence. I came out a devout pre-medical student.”
Maria Butler taught Michael in a Mexican History class, became a Mentor and steered Michael into CUHRE, the student leadership-building organization at San Diego State University. Michael says he was intimidated by the CUHRE application process but he provided 7 letters of support! CUHRE provided the caring, collaborative environment that Michael needed, with Advisors and faculty who Mentor him. He also chose his current job wisely. He says, “Working for the County of San Diego Air Pollution District is great because they are flexible around my school schedule, which is my priority.”
Three Community College faculty (math, biology and chemistry) said the following about Michael during his academic renaissance: “In the short time that I have known Michael, I have recognized that he is more than just an extremely bright student. Michael is very hard working, diligent and adaptable. On a variety of occasions, Michael demonstrated his ability to work through difficult projects assigned in calculus with relative ease. Additionally, he helped other students with many of their difficulties in calculus. In a group setting, Michael demonstrated his ability to work as an integral part of a team by contributing to the progress of the assigned task.”
“I found Mr. Manzano to be very likeable and enthusiastic, always working closely with others in class, and on many occasions saw him assisting other students who were having trouble understanding aspects of the topics. His communication skills are excellent, and he has a genuinely warm and personable temperament that facilitates his interactions with others. He displays all of the characteristics that I have looked for in hiring employees during my years in the biotechnology industry.”
“During the course of my class, Mike worked hard. He always came prepared to laboratory and his readiness allowed him to work efficiently. He made the extra effort to connect our chemistry experiments to topics covered in his biology class. This enriched his reports and emphasized his aptitude for tying diverse ideas together. Many times during the semester, Mike approached me to discuss concepts from other experiments he had completed and applications he has used at his job. We discussed how the concepts presented that day in class or lab related to the work he was doing at the moment. He was able to understand how theories presented in chemistry related to tasks he was performing in the real world. Mike’s maturity was demonstrated by communicating insightful ideas in class discussions and helping classmates understand complex concepts in class. He goes beyond earning a grade to understand scientific methods.”
From the Premedical Committee: Michael is a quietly impressive young man with an understated personal power that doesn’t jump out at once. But, after speaking with him, one is persuaded that there is more than first meets the eye. He is pretty solidly placed within himself and draws on considerable depth of development.
Michael is one of the hardest working individuals I have ever known. He is determined and perseveres until he attains his goal. Most probably, his work ethic is so strong because he doesn’t want to live the same life he grew up in. He has told me of his hardships and wants to achieve more. Michael is observant, listens well, is willing to take advice, and follows through. I don’t believe the word ‘procrastination’ is in his vocabulary. Aside from this, he is kind, honest, helpful and a wonderful person. Since childhood, was deprived, so he is also grateful.
Michael’s community and volunteer work experience demonstrate that he is trying to learn as much as he can about medicine as a profession. Working in the emergency room at Alvarado Hospital is an eye-opening experience and not for the faint of heart. This has given him a keen understanding in what it entails to be a doctor. Michael is active in his church, belongs to Golden Key and American Medical Student Association and has strong work experience. Often, some of the most menial jobs people undertake seem unimportant. But, the reality is, these jobs teach responsibility, ethics, organizational skills and learning to relate to all types of people. Michael will have greater understanding and will be able to relate to all types of people. He explained that he would like to be a physician who works on patients with addictions. There is a ‘fire in his belly’ when he talks about helping people.
Michael has had little to no familial support financially or emotionally. In fact, his family cares little about his achievements. They don’t even know about his interest in medical school. We admire Michael’s perseverance and determination in overcoming this handicap. In fact, we wonder how successful Michael could have been academically if he had had parents who respected or admired his achievements. If he weren’t so pressed financially and having to work so hard, his GPA would be much higher.
Michael’s grades have improved to the point of earning A’s in chemistry, physics and calculus. His weaker earlier college performance may have been due, in part, to his humble family origins.
In summary, in the two years we have known Michael, he has become an extraordinarily committed student. Please see comments from Dr. MacAlpine, considered a very rigorous organic chemist and a “task-master” in her research lab. Dr. MacAlpine did her doctoral work at UCLA and post-doctoral work at Harvard University. When we discussed Michael with Dr. MacAlpine, she assessed him as one of the hardest working students she has mentored. We have observed Michael’s activity as a CUHRE Enrichment Instructor for organic chemistry. He goes the “extra mile”, attending lectures, discussing questions with faculty and putting his enrichees’ needs at a high level. Even though Michael has consistently worked up to 40 hours per week while attending college, and CUHRE does not pay its leaders for their work, Michael has embraced this training opportunity whole-heartedly. He took on the position of Clinical Externship Coordinator for CUHRE this year because he cares about his peers and covets the opportunity to be in a supportive, collaborative group.
Note that Michael has overcome social, educational and financial disadvantage to attend college and develop the goal of becoming a doctor. He was pressured to contribute more money to the family, work full time and leave home. These are pressures many pre-medical students do not have. Michael’s role models are recent. He is the first in his family to attend college. In his words, “I continue struggling with a poor economic background, little family support, and with many obstacles to conquer. I live with stress from these and with balancing work and school. I don’t care, though. Life has been an uphill battle from day one. I just take the bull by the horns and go for it, in whatever I do. I know that I will make my dreams come true. Now, I am where I can change my dream into a long-term goal.”
Michael’s goals include working in community medicine. He has volunteered with Samahan, our local Filipino-American clinic for the underserved. Michael will do well in medical school. He cares about patients, his peers, and he wants to make a difference for the disadvantaged. Michael is a very committed and serious young man.
Note From Dr. Lewis: When Michael was accepted to medical school, he had financial difficulties and actually contemplated not attending. Because GW gave him some advance financial support, he was able to find housing and get started on the right foot.
Michael let us know that he has a 9-month old son. Congratulations on your growing family and matching into your first choice residency program in radiology at George Washington University Hospital!! He says he plans to pursue pediatric vascular interventional radiology (sounds like a few more years of training down the road…go get 'em Michael!).

q u e s t i o n o f t h e m o n t h
by Dr. Cynthia Lewis, PhD
We interrupt our series on "Focus on Professionalism" from the Association of American Medical Colleges this month.
I am waitlisted...what can I do to be accepted?
There are two keys to getting off the waitlist:1. You have been accomplishing new interesting, compelling, and significant things during the year of application. Schools seem impressed with A grades in hard upper division or graduate level sciences, improved MCAT scores (and, with the plethora of dates now available, one can retake the MCAT during the application year. Osteopathic medical schools are more open to taking a January score than are allopathic schools), new research outcomes like a presentation, poster or publication, new job skills, new service, new leadership, new "almost anything".
Then, you need to write an update letter or a letter of intent to matriculate (only do this if this is your ONE …and I mean ONE top choice school. It is NOT kosher to send a letter of intent to matriculate to more than one school or to tell 5 schools that they are your top choice. This is dishonest…remember honesty?) Your letter will be one page, with a strong, clear and direct paragraph detailing your exciting new accomplishments followed by a second paragraph explaining in great specificity exactly how your background, skills and learning style fit their program.
2. The waitlist has to move, i.e. your peers must remove themselves from acceptance at the school where you wish to go. If they don't, it does not matter what wonderful accomplishments you have. May 15th is the "traffic rules" deadline for those with multiple acceptances to withdraw from all but one allopathic school. Osteopathic schools manage this differently. They require a hefty fee to hold your spot, and don't have a specific date for required withdrawal, but they all speak to each other, and it is considered unethical to hold more than one accepted position after about May also.
So, you CAN get off the waitlist.
Part of the process you can control, but part of it you cannot. Being on the waitlist means you are acceptable to that school…they like you! Worst case scenario is that you have to re-apply next year. If so, you definitely need to add new things to your application (you would have been doing these new things all fall, winter, spring BEFORE resubmission!!!) and apply relatively early, by early July.
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.
