INTERVIEW PACKAGE
The Interview is the single most problematic part of the application process, no matter how accomplished a speaker the applicant is. Gain confidence. Prepare, practice and understand what to expect under simulated interview conditions by phone or skype. You will be coached directly by Dr. Lewis, no one else! She has coached several thousand applicants to be successful.
If we did not work on your application essay with you, we need to look at your personal and academic history and all application elements, which may take up to an hour. Then, we will schedule a 30 minute mock interview, which could be generic (for those with the most anxiety about interviews), or specific for the school where you are scheduled to interview, whether it is traditional, Mini Multi Interview or standardized patient. You will be provided personal verbal feedback and a list of potential questions after the mock interview.

If we have already gotten your history this year for your application essay or a mock interview, we will schedule a 30 minute mock interview as above.
Each additional 30 min mock interview is $250

HOURLY ADVISING
In order to give you the most effective advice, Dr. Lewis needs to collect your entire history, personal and academic. It takes her on average 1.5 hours to collect this information. If you are younger, it may take less, and if you are older, it may take longer. Please note that this is important before starting advising. It is like a doctor taking a history in order to diagnose and treat a patient.
Dr. Lewis will focus on addressing those issues that are most
important for you to solve. We start with a 2 hour minimum. Beyond
that, time is billed in 15-minute increments. The first 2 hours
must be paid in advance. 24-hour cancellation notice required.

One of our
post-baccalaureate Advisees with a degree in English who turned
down Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in favor of one of his
many other acceptances wrote 22 drafts and cautioned, "believe
me when I tell you that the AMCAS essay is every bit as important
as Dr. Lewis has been telling you. Make it better than best.
Really knock yourself out! This will take a lot of work, but
it is well worth it. Remember, this document gets in the door
before you do. It is your first impression, and if it doesn't
shine, you don't get a second chance."
Begin as early as possible, about six months prior to submission!
All packages include Dr. Lewis' How to Write the Application

Advisors across the U.S.
