Manhattan Parents Seeking Private Schools in Westchester and Fairfield Counties

Manhattan_Parents_Seeking_Westchester_Fairfield_County_Private_Schools

Over the past few months, we have been receiving calls from anxious Manhattan parents who are seeking private schools for their children in Westchester and Lower Fairfield Counties.  Real estate companies, relocation companies and executive assistants have been calling us for admissions advice and placement.  Some wish to temporarily rent and eventually return while others are purchasing homes for permanent residencies and seeking not to return to Manhattan.  A sudden surge in demand for private schools in these areas has resulted and has increased the competition for entrance to these schools.

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.  I physically visit schools and actively interact with school admissions personnel, senior administrators and students because our offices are located in Lower Fairfield County (Greenwich) and Westchester County (White Plains).  My clients are, therefore, placed in the most appropriate school for their (and their parents’) happiness.  

Simply put, parents who hire me want the BEST admissions results for their children!

It Takes Admissions Intelligence To Be Accepted Into Your First-Choice Schools

Admissions Intelligence Dr Paul Lowe

WE HAVE WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR – ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE

It takes ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE to successfully navigate the uncertainty and challenges of an admissions process, whether you are striving to be admitted into elite boarding schools, Ivy League colleges/universities, top direct BS/MD programs or top medical schools!

Knowing that the admissions environment changes every year, rather than relying on old data, outdated books, antiquated information and tips from chatting with others (“adda”, as it is known in some circles among my clients), you should choose an experienced admissions expert to help.

ADMISSIONS INTELLIGENCE requires knowledge-intelligence, insight, foresight, vision, predictive analytics, an insider’s knowledge, collaboration, relationships, trust, contacts and networks!

You want to hire a firm where the CEO/lead admissions advisor works DIRECTLY with you and has the experience to help you STAND OUT amongst other applicants!

Betting on College Admissions Outcomes

betting_college_admissions_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Educational-Consultant

Do you bet on your child’s educational future?

dice-odds_college_admissions_Dr_Paul_Lowe

The number of students opting to participate in the run for admissions to Ivy League and elite colleges/universities every year hovers around 50,000 to 100,000. With Ivy League schools, more than 90% of applicants, on average, will be rejected.

Yet, year after year, parents bet that they or their children can navigate this process on their own; this, despite affirmations and documentation that students need help with this competitive process.

It’s better not to bet.
