Dr_Paul_Lowe_College_BS_MD_AdmissionsKaty_Independent_School_District_small

Katy Independent School District (KISD), in Texas, contains 8 high schools. Over the past 5 years, MANY parents of high school students have contacted us regarding our college and BS/MD admissions advisory services. Dr. Paul Lowe and his team have worked with students from several schools including:

  • Seven Lakes High School
  • Tomkins High School
  • Cinco Ranch High School
  • Taylor Ranch High School

According to KISD Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Smith, KISD faces a projected budgetary shortfall of $13 million for fiscal year 2024-2025.  This shortfall may affect budgetary cuts that could possibility affect: “(1) Modifying or phasing out school programs. (2) Teachers and staff.  (3) Core student programs and services.”

Despite the fact that they are all excellent high schools, MANY parents contact Dr. Lowe because they mentioned that because of the size of the schools, school counselors are either unable to provide continuous weekly or biweekly individualized college and/or BS/MD admissions services to each student. The senior class size for some of these schools exceed 600 students.

We are happy to report that our clients from these schools were accepted to their top-choice colleges and universities and BS/MD programs.

(1) Families who have been waitlisted can either attempt on their own to be removed from the waitlist (not recommended) or hire an expert who has the track record of success in admissions to private schools.

(2) Families who have been rejected should try to reapply with the help of an admissions advisor who is an expert in the private school reapplication process.  Why?  They do not want to make the same mistakes twice.

How to Get Into Medical School After You’ve Been Rejected

Many students believe that to be a competitive medical school applicant you need to:

  • Do well in your courses,
  • Do well on your MCAT.
  • Take full course
  • Shadow multiple physicians
  • Engage in research.
  •  Serve regularly in meaningful ways in your community.
  • Gain hands-on patient care experiences
  • Obtain glowing letters of recommendations
  • Completed applications and essays

If it were that easy to be accepted, then everyone who applied would be accepted into medical school.  Every year, over 50,000 students apply to medical school, but 60% are rejected!  Statistics from the Association of American Medical Colleges reveal that about 17,000 more applicants sought admission to a U.S. med school during the 2021-2022 school year than nine years prior, a nearly 38% increase.

Here are reasons why more students being rejected:

  • Increase number of medical school applicants
  • Greater scrutiny of medical school applications
  • Mistakes on medical school applications
  • Low GPA
  • Low MCAT scores
  • Poor letters of recommendation
  • Poor or lack of advice

Here’s what you need to do if you have been rejected and will be reapplying:

  • Develop a winning narrative as to why you desire to and are committed to becoming a doctor.
  • Your application is not just about high MCAT scores and GPA, it’s about the interconnectedness of all parts.
  • Re-evaluate your medical school list based on your “best chance” schools
  • Re-evaluate your medical school application. Is it admissions ready?
  • Hire a medical school admissions advisor/expert who understands the re-application process and has the track record of helping students who are re-applying to be admitted.

Dr. Paul Lowe provides exclusive and specialized medical school admissions advisory services to U.S. and international students, including post-baccalaureate program and non-traditional applicants.

Dr. Paul Lowe:  Why His Clients Love The Lawrenceville School

The_Lawrenceville_School_Dr_Paul_Lowe_New_Jersey_Admissions_Advisors

Lawrenceville is one of the Ten Schools and what makes it unique among other elite New England schools is that it is only one hour from Manhattan.  Its enrollment is 818 students, but appears as a smaller school because of its unique house system. The Lawrenceville School sits on more than 700 beautiful acres in suburban New Jersey 

Lawrenceville is one of the most prestigious, elite and highly selective boarding schools in the world.  Its acceptance rate is 19%.

  • “I really enjoy the house system.” – Junior-student

  • “Dr. Lowe helped through the entire boarding school application process.  My son was accepted Lawrenceville!  He is now at Columbia.” – Parent of a graduate of Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville’s college matriculation rate to Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities is high.  Here is a list of colleges/universities attended over the past five years.

Why Dr. Lowe’s Clients Apply to the Top Ten New Jersey Private Schools

New_Jersey_Private_Schools_Dr_Lowe_Educational_Consultant

Over the last month or so, our New Jersey affiliate: New Jersey Admissions Advisors, has been receiving many emails and calls from parents who reside in New Jersey who are choosing to have their children transfer from public schools and apply to the private high schools in New Jersey.

In New Jersey, the competition to gain admissions to top private high schools is heating up this year – 2024   As more and more parents discover the major challenges in suburban high schools: (a) large class sizes, (b) not much flexibility when it comes to curriculum (c) larger school counselor-student ratio;  they are willing to forgo public school education and pay tuition, which increases the application pool and competition to gain admissions into coveted slots.

Niche, a company that researches and compiles information on schools released its ranking of the best private schools in the U.S., specifically highlighting the best schools that prepare students for elite colleges.  By elite colleges, I am referring to colleges parents already know about: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, UPenn, Cornell, Dartmouth, Stanford, MIT, Duke, Johns Hopkins and BS/MD programs.

Character Counts in Admissions to Top Private School Admissions

Character_character_counts_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Boarding_School_Admissions

Being thorough and particular when evaluating a private school choice is extremely important for parents. But one thing is certain…the competitive private schools will be equally as picky when choosing your child as a member of its incoming class. Private schools have been using the traditional academic criteria of SSAT/ISEE and grades for a number of decades. However, admissions personnel have long recognized that these cognitive measures are limited in their ability to predict a student’s fit in their schools’ community and program. Increasingly, they are determining how to accurately evaluate character attributes of a student as a factor in private school admissions.

Numerous traits were evaluated and discussed by admissions professionals participating in think tanks and summit meetings regarding admissions and character. Character attributes were then rated according to importance. Among these character attributes, honesty, integrity, empathy, curiosity, creativity, teamwork, adaptability, resilience, community, generosity, self-control, adaptability and optimism were included on the list of the most important.

Each institution considers the positive attributes in the light of the goals of the school with regard to their students’ success. They have spent the last several years determining the best way to evaluate students’ character attributes during the admissions process.

Intended to complement the cognitive measures currently assessed in the admission process, the Character Skills Assessment (CSA) which is a non-cognitive assessment offers insights into an applicant’s character attributes and adds great value to the holistic evaluation of applicants.

This assessment is intended to provide a complete and comprehensive picture of each applicant, providing insight into important issues of character that currently are often difficult to evaluate. Schools will use these assessments to make even better-informed decisions.

By understanding CSA, helping students and parents develop meaningful and compelling student essays and parent statements, reviewing applications, providing mock interviews, and developing continual private school admissions strategies, Dr. Lowe’s clients are accepted to top U.S. private schools, including: Lawrenceville, Exeter, Andover, Choate, Deerfield, Loomis, St. Paul’s, Hotchkiss, Taft, Hackley, Masters, Groton, Middlesex, Kent, Milton, Thacher and Cate.

What BS/MD Programs Mean to Many of Dr. Lowe’s Clients

Family_Accepted_Indian_BS_MD_Admissions_Gandhi_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Educational_Consultant

For parents of my clients who immigrated to the US, higher education is a symbol of upward mobility, a life-altering path to meaningful careers and financial stability.  A medical degree, specifically one obtained through a direct BS/MD program, is a definitive path to becoming a medical doctor.

“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Family_Accepted_Indian_Future_Mahatma_Gandhi_BS_MD_Admissions_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Educational_Consultant

For many of my client-families, education is an important means to achieve the four aims of human life, namely dharma (virtue), artha (wealth), kama (pleasure) and moksha (liberation). Vidya or education is the means by which an individual can gain the right knowledge, control his desires and learn to perform his obligatory duties.

Dr. Paul Lowe and his team of admissions experts help many of his clients successfully attain this career track while in high school through BS/MD Admissions Advisors. This is one of the reasons why he has been in practice for 28 years with unmatched results!

For H-4 high school students, this means that they will be U.S. medical doctors – an immigration benefit, in addition to the job security.
