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!

Your Personal Brand Matters for Admissions

Your Personal Brand in Admissions Matters
~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

It is essential to accurately convey your personal brand in order to be accepted into an elite boarding school, Ivy League college/university, a direct BS/MD program or a top medical school.  Consider the following questions.

  1. How do you create and convey a distinct and memorable impression?
  2. How do you define the incomparable you?
  3. How do you persuade others to recognize the authentic irreplaceable value you will bring to an educational institution?
  4. How do you ensure that the admissions profile you create is about the unique you?
  5. How do you successfully communicate your personal brand to admissions committees?
  6. How do you avoid creating the wrong impression that will cause instant rejection?
  7. How do you assess your unique attributes in comparison to your peers?
  8. Do you know how people who don’t know you feel about you?
  9. Are you aware of the subliminal messages about yourself that you impart to people, verbally and/or non-verbally (body language)?

The informed responses to all these questions are the key to why MY clients are accepted.

Top US Private Schools and Boarding Schools Are in Demand

Private schools have seen a flurry of new interest from families who view private schools as being better equipped to provide robust and relevant instruction for educational proficiencies, given their financial resources, space and nimbleness in adapting.  As a result of this interest, the competition for coveted spots has increased.

Boarding schools, because of their immense resources and facilities are attracting U.S. as well as international families. Current political changes which have resulted in potential changes and adjustments within the Department of Education have made admission to boarding school more attractive.  More students are transferring from public schools, thus admissions is now even more competitive.

2024 Top Private High Schools in New Jersey

~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Over the last month or so, our New Jersey affiliate: New Jersey Admissions Advisors, has been receiving many calls from parents who reside in New Jersey who are choosing to have their children apply to private high schools in New Jersey.  For some families it’s the first time applying and for others, they are reapplying, because they were previously rejected or not removed from the waitlist.

In New Jersey, the competition to gain admissions to top private high schools is heating up this year.   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) they are under more bureaucratic red tape when it comes to regulations and rules, (d) 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.

Additionally, alarmed parents have been calling us because of the report from the Department of Education of the falling student literacy rate/reading skills of students in New Jersey public schools.

Top Private High Schools in New Jersey – 2024

  1. The Lawrenceville School
  2. The Pingry School
  3. Peddie School
  4. Newark Academy
  5. Dwight-Englewood School
  6. Hun School
  7. Princeton Day School

Boarding School Admissions Season: 2024-2025 It’s Time to Start the Application Process

Boarding_School_Admissions_Consultants_Dr_Paul_Lowe
~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

It is hard to believe that the 2024-2025 boarding school admissions season is here! Just 4 months ago our clients were receiving their acceptance notifications to schools like Exeter, Andover, Choate, Deerfield, Lawrenceville, Taft, Loomis, Hotchkiss and similar top schools.

We are receiving email inquiries and phone calls from parents who are inquiring about retaining the services of an educational consultant for direct admissions to the ninth grade or for reapplication (because their child was rejected or waitlisted during the last admissions cycle).  Many parents who called us were quite surprised when their child was either outright rejected or placed on (perpetual) waitlists last season.

It’s important to note that this admissions cycle (2024-2025) will be hypercompetitive (domestic applications are expected to increase). Why? Because more parents became aware of the benefits and multiple advantages of a boarding school education for their children. Additionally, because of the high number of those rejected (and placed on waitlists) during the last admissions cycle, more students are reapplying for ninth grade as well as 10th grade spots, especially to top boarding schools.

Many parents who believed that their child would be elevated from the waitlist will now have to reapply in 2024-2025 admissions season.
