Applying to U.S. universities is a complex and anxiety-ridden process, and even more so for students navigating the process from abroad. There are many decisions to be made and unfamiliar terms to be understood when researching schools, visiting campuses, and deciphering application requirements.

Confused_Parent_with_Questions_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Expert_Independent_Educational_Consultant_College

As an international college applicant, you have to consider many tangible factors including your school, IB or non-IB program, grades, extracirricular activities, and the correct standardized tests. But for Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities you have to consider the decision process in U.S. admissions committees and your personal traits: attitude, likability, confidence, etiquette, interview technique. emotional and cultural intelligences, transparency, charisma and WOW Factor.

These personal traits/intangible factors are just as important as the tangible factors and may be the deciding factor for acceptance.

If you plan on studying in the United States and are applying to top colleges and universities you will need an experienced college admissions advisor who understands the competition in admissions as well as the knowledge of what schools seek and has a history of successful admissions outcomes.

Why Choose a Top Boarding School Admissions Consultant

Expert_Admissions_Advice_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Boarding_School_Advisor

February 2, 2020February 10, 2020 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Acceptance to a top boarding school for your child is one of the most important and educational investment decisions you will ever make. You might try to research thoroughly on your own, obtain help from friends or obtain guidance from an independent educational consultant who may not specialize in top boarding school admissions and placement.

Fees_value_investment_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Expert_Independent_Educational_Consultant

We recommend that you hire a full-time professional who has had years of experience in top and elite boarding school search, admissions and placement. Most consultants of this caliber offer full-service comprehensive packages that span over several months to a year.

Since top boarding schools are not all the same, consultants will also advise consideration of a range of schools that are nurturing, offer cutting-edge academic experiences, learning support and experiences to prepare each student for successful futures. Top consultants discuss the pros and cons of the more rigorous schools or might help a family decide whether to repeat a year.

International families may NEED MORE HELP in navigating the top boarding school admissions process and placement because they or their locally-based educational agents are not aware of the continually changing admissions policies and missions of top boarding schools.

Globe_w_international_students_Dr_Paul Lowe_Admissions_Expert_Independent_Educational_Consultant

Top boarding school admissions consultants know the inside scoop on boarding schools, and they get this through their campus visits, meetings with admissions officers, and by seeing the successes of the students they place at schools.

Is the investment in the advice of a top boarding school admissions consultant worth it?

Yes_No_maybe_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Expert_Advisor_Independent_Educational_Consultant — We think so…it’s your child’s educational future!

Dr. Lowe’s Private School Visits: Other independent educational consultants may depend on telephonic interviews, group speed meetings in central locations, or simply read literature and review websites and repeat it to families. As an admissions expert, I physically visit schools and actively interact with school admissions personnel, senior administrators and students. My clients are, therefore, placed in the most appropriate school for their (and their parents’) happiness. My approach ensures that your child will be placed in the best and most appropriate top-choice school. By understanding, analyzing and researching a specific school’s atmosphere, vibe, rhythm, tone, color, experience, culture diversity and mission, my team and I can clearly articulate what differentiates one school from another to consumers/families.

Brown University Midyear and Transfer Admissions

January 28, 2020January 30, 2020 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

On January 21, Brown University had its ceremonial procession through the Van Wickle Gates.

This unique procession involved 51 transfer and 6 visiting students who started their classes at Brown, become a part of the Brown community and enjoy the Brown academic and social experiences.

The Mid-Year Transfer Program is designed specifically for incoming sophomores. To be eligible for transfer admission to Brown, a student must have completed at least one full year of college study (or its equivalent) before their planned matriculation at Brown.

This year, all of our clients who applied to Brown’s Midyear transfer program were accepted!

Congratulations to students and their parents!

Our parents-clients are happy, overjoyed and excited that they can now call their sons and daughters – Brown University students and future alumni!

GUARANTEE – What This Really Means!

January 18, 2020January 31, 2020 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

There can be confusion and assumptions with the use of the word guarantee. This can be particularly true when one associates the word “guarantee” with the word “admission”. In the college admissions industry, no one can guarantee admissions to any college or university.

As an active member of several professional trade associations, including the National Association for College Admission Counseling, (NACAC), Higher Education Consultants Association (HECA), the New York State Association for College Admission Counseling (NYSACAC), the New Jersey Association for College Admission Counseling (NJACAC), the International Association for College Admission Counseling (IACAC), according to their Standard, Practices and Ethics, it is a clear and accepted directive that one cannot guarantee admissions to universities.

NACAC, in its Statement of Principles of Good Practice Mandatory Practices states: “All members agree they will not guarantee admission or specific college placement”. HECA, in its statement of Standards and Ethics (Code of Conduct for Individual Consultants) states: “In the conduct of their practice, HECA members shall: Not make any written or verbal guarantee of college admission or placement.”

HOWEVER…..let’s tell you what our GUARANTEE would mean to you.

We GUARANTEE:

That you will work directly with admissions expert and independent educational consultant, Dr. Paul Lowe.
That we abide by professional and ethical standards of membership organizations in college admissions.
That we provide our concierge-type admissions advisory service.
That we will develop winning admissions advisory strategies personalized for our clients.
For international students, that we know and understand how international students are assessed and evaluated, given a potentially divergent secondary school curriculum.
That we continually visit Ivy League and highly selective schools and understand their changing admissions policies and missions.
That we will work efficiently, rapidly, efficiently, and diligently with our clients.
That we continually communicate with our clients and provide unlimited correspondence throughout our admissions advisory assignments.
That we supplement, complement and add value to the efforts of public high school counselors and private high school college counselors because we work one-on-one with students.
That our strategic vision allows us to create, design and develop a compelling, authentic and distinctive personal brand for each of our clients. This vision elevates and differentiates our clients in the competitive admissions environment.
That we add soul, pizazz, jazz, hip-hop, rhythm, groove, vibe, funk and collaborative syncopation to your application so that it stands out – that’s how we roll!
That we understand the dynamics of proper etiquette, manners and body language in successful college admissions.
That we identify details that may be overlooked and help you find and avoid irreparable mistakes that would cause you (your application) to be rejected.
That the cultural, intellectual, racial, and professional diversity within our firm helps us identify what makes our clients stand out! The DIVERSITY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE of our firm adds amazing colorfulness, tone, hue, shade, enthusiasm, creativity and energy to our client’s and their applications!…That’s why they are different and can stand out far above other applicants!

class_of_2024_Early_Action_Early_Decision_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Ivy_Admissions_Expert

December 16, 2019December 24, 2019 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

The results are out for the college class of 2024 for several Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities. What we are discovering from parents who are calling us as to what happened is that students (and their parents) who believed that was just high GPA, top SAT scores, high grades and a manufactured application and personal statement have now discovered that it’s not all about that!

Even though the number of early applicants have decreased in some schools (Harvard, Duke and UPenn, to date), its still hypercompetitive to gain acceptance into these schools.

It has been a wonderfully satisfying early action/early decision season. This year, 100% of our students who applied early decision/action to their top-choice schools, including Harvard, Brown, Yale, UPenn, Columbia and Dartmouth, were accepted! How do we achieve our successful outcomes? We work continually to know and understand our clients; we utilize this knowledge and couple it with our specialized awareness of how to make them stand out; we understand the changing admissions landscape better than high school guidance counselors, private school college counselors, and many independent educational consultants; and we continually visit schools to learn about their admissions policies and missions, which, in today’s world, has seemingly become a continuously evolving landscape. Most importantly—our admissions strategies work!

Here is a list of the Class of 2024 Early Action/Decision Acceptance Rates and the number of accepted applicants at several schools (We will have additional rates as more information becomes available):

Harvard – 13.9%
Yale – 13.8%
Princeton – TBA
Brown – 17.5%
Dartmouth – TBA
UPenn – 19.7%
Cornell – 23.8%
MIT – TBA
Duke – 20.6%
Johns Hopkins – TBA

Tolerance of Differences in Education and Beyond

October 27, 2019October 28, 2019 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Some people view DIVERSITY as a nebulous and intangible descriptor, a court-ordered societal mandate or, in some cases, even unconstitutional. In truth, our differences represent an invaluable asset and in the economic sense has been proven to provide an unlimited ROI.

Every person is a unique individual. Yes, we have commonalities. But the differences make life challenging, interesting and a learning experience. These are the qualities that keep us moving forward, progressing and improving life.

Some differences are easily recognized. Some differences go unnoticed unless there is a direct interaction. (For example, can you recognize a deaf person in a crowd?) The question is do you embrace difference and try to learn from it? Or do you just ignore it? Do you find the positive qualities in all the people that you meet? Are you a tolerant individual? Educational institutions (especially Ivy League and highly selective ones) expect their applicants to not be fearful of our interconnected and constantly changing global society.

Some people may believe that living in small, homogeneous and insular communities is best. But in truth, diversity has always been America’s greatest asset! It is exemplified in the evolution of our American language, music, art, architecture, math, science and dance. It is what has allowed our innovations and our artistic and cultural leadership. Diversity was a necessary precondition to the formation of our democracy, The United States of America, and has provided the impetus for engagement in the full kaleidoscope of “The American Culture”.

Intolerance in education is like placing a wall between you and what is to be learned. In fact, intolerance in scholastic and academic circles is viewed as ignorance and intellectual ineptitude. Tolerance of differences helps us to learn more and to succeed globally. This is one of the important reasons why colleges embrace diversity and why authentic, meaningful interaction and immersion in different communities are important realities of our clients’ college admissions journey and success!

Party With Moms Interviews Admissions Expert Dr Paul Lowe

September 28, 2019September 28, 2019 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Remy Cook, CEO of Party with Moms: Dr. Paul Lowe is managing director of Greenwich Admissions Advisors, a boutique firm that helps place students into top-flight schools. I had a chance to sit down with Dr. Lowe and discuss his firm and business philosophy.

Generally, Lowe helps clients who are applying to elite universities, private schools and medical schools. For the consulting services provided, Lowe charges a flat fee that ranges from $5,000 to as to high as $250,000, depending on the type of specialized admissions or strategic advisory service.

PWM: How did you get into this line of work?

Dr. Lowe: I was a physician-scientist, worked on Wall Street for a year and was a serial entrepreneur. During this time, I also was a Brown University alumni interviewer. I discovered as a Brown interviewer that applicants, regardless of their socio-economic status, were not really prepared for the competitive college application process. I became a college admissions adviser specializing in Ivies and top-tier colleges about 21 years ago and branched out to elite and prestigious private day and boarding schools 11 years ago.

PWM: What schools do you primarily focus on?

Dr Lowe: We focus on Ivy League colleges and universities, top private day and boarding schools, top graduate and medical schools and BS MD programs. The Elite Eight: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell and UPenn, and the top-tier schools like Duke, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Tufts, MIT, etc. My wife, three children and I were all accepted to and attended the Ivies, so that’s what I know and believe in. As an African-American family, with West Indian heritage (I was born in Jamaica), it’s always been important to us to focus on achieving the very best, and education is very important. It’s the ultimate American dream, and now international dream as well, to attend an Ivy League school and a top private school.

PWM: Why the Ivy League and private schools?

Dr. Lowe: I often hear parents and even other independent educational consultants say it’s about the fit. For many people, especially the clientele with whom I interact, so-called prestige and brand-name schools are important to them because they know they can have an education where they are surrounded by exceptional students and faculty. So, they strive for the very best possible education, then they find the fit among those institutions. Many years ago, I had a client and she was just a superstar. She was admitted to multiple Ivies; she chose Dartmouth because she was an outdoorsy-type athlete. She loved to ski and hike and climb mountains, so that was a better fit for her than Harvard, Yale, Brown or Columbia.

PWM: What is your admissions strategy?

Dr. Lowe: That begins with who I am. Being African American, Ivy League-trained, having knowledge of several languages (and cultures) and being a jazz musician allows me to understand and interpret people. Successful admissions is about understanding, appreciating and respecting different nuances in cultures, ethnicities and human nature. It’s about a thorough analysis and interpretation of the changes in business, economic, socio-political and admissions trends. It’s an art as well as a science mixed in with insight, foresight and experience. Being different in this industry (Lowe laughs), and appreciating and embracing the challenges of being different allow me and my team to help my clients stand out and get accepted into their top-choice schools. When I walk into certain situations, based on people’s reactions and non-verbal cues, I feel and know that I am perceived as different. I use that art and sensitivity to help my clients successfully stand out.

PWM: What type of strategic services do you provide?

Dr. Lowe: In addition to traditional college admissions, we also provide concierge strategic consulting services to legacy, development and resumed education applicants.

PWM: What makes your firm stand out?

Dr. Lowe: We are an African- American owned and managed firm that specializes in admissions to elite educational institutions. Our core team and supportive administrative staff respect and have different and diverse thinking styles. We are not a jack-of all-trades firm that provides tutoring services and other educational ancillary services or own and manage schools. A successful record in admissions is not achieved by chance or luck. My team and I treat the admissions process as a competitive sport so that our clients can win!

PWM: How has “Varsity Blues” affected your business?

Dr. Lowe: The reaction of people has been very interesting. Of course, no one is happy with the cheating and bribery scandal. Because we are an honest, transparent and trusted firm, more parents are calling us. People are aware of the competition to gain entrance into top schools and are now more aware of unethical aspects in this industry. They are also now more aware of high-end admissions advisors, like me, who provide specialized concierge-type services.

PWM: What should new clients of yours expect?

Dr. Lowe: I focus specifically on positive outcomes and success. I am enthusiastic and detailed in pursuing this goal and leave no stone unturned in preparing my clients. They know that I truly care about getting their child accepted into top schools. The process really starts with a question: How can my team and I, using the inherent academic, artistic or athletic qualities of a student, present him/her in a positive light to an admissions committee of seven to eight different people?

PWM: Who makes up the bulk of your clientele?

Dr. Lowe: About 60 percent of our clients are international families who reside in the U.S. or other countries. The balance are mostly families who reside in the tri-state area and southern states. We cater to families who want the best admissions outcome for their children and can afford our services. Our services are not for everyone.

PWM: For those parents and students who are striving for the elite school experiences, what should Greenwich parents realize about getting into a top school?

Dr. Lowe: Many U.S. parents have this idea that their children are only competing with other children locally and regionally. They have no idea or may be in denial of the global educational competition. Parents from the midwestern states or desert southwest may want their child to attend east coast private school. Families may be relocating from the south or the west coast. And of course, there are the international students from Brazil, Russia, India, China and now Africa. Parents of these students understand the competitive advantage of hiring a private, on-call admissions adviser and the global value of a U.S. educational pedigree.

PWM: Can you talk more about your fees?

Dr. Lowe: Our fees are value-added investment in a child’s future. Our clients view our fees, not as a cost, but as an investment in their child’s future and to them that’s worth more than real estate, a second home, or a fancy car. A child’s future is not a depreciating asset, it’s not even an asset. Your child is your legacy! Hiring our firm is simply a choice whether to give your child a competitive advantage.

PWM: What’s the hardest part of your job? What’s the most rewarding?

Dr. Lowe: Most difficult: It can be difficult to have a parent step back in this process. It’s understandable because they have spent years planning and doing everything for their child, but its challenging when parents assume that they are the admissions experts during their child’s admissions journey because they read several books on college admissions or an article on college admissions. Or when they believe that a “connection” will get their child admitted to a school. Parents, in our target market, are very intelligent, well-educated, in many cases well-connected and well-off financially. However, they fail to understand that their skill sets in business, finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, engineering do not apply to the admissions universe or may be detrimental to successfully navigating their child’s college admissions process or admission to a private school.

Most rewarding: It’s very rewarding to witness the student blossoming. They develop a self-assurance as this process progresses. Of course, I love when I see parents and children celebrate the acceptance to their top-choice schools (the family hugs, pets included), when I’m invited to my client’s high school and (four years later) college graduation. And what is truly gratifying for me is when I hear that my client is vice president of a major investment banking firm, a partner in a white-shoe law firm, CEO of a unicorn, a practicing physician, or the lead attorney in a major government agency. They are just happy moments! It’s a wonderful feeling.

Medical Schools With Debt-Relief Programs

September 17, 2019September 19, 2019 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the median debt for medical school graduates is $200,000. Some medical school graduates are saddled with over $400,000 in student loan debt.

Over the last 3 years, several U.S. medical schools have established debt-relief programs for medical school graduates.

Here is a list of these medical schools:

Weill Cornell Medicine
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai
New York University
Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons

Of these schools, NYU will cover all tuition regardless of financial need.

Needless to say, the competition to gain admission into these schools will increase as a result of these programs.
