Hire a Boarding School Admissions Expert to Help Avoid Mistakes!

Dr Paul Lowe Boarding School Admissions Expert

Applying to top boarding schools is anxiety-ridden and filled with uncertainties.  I often hear of the mistakes parents (and their children) make during the process when they call me regarding what to do after their child has been waitlisted or rejected from their top-choice schools.

When I ask if they had hired an admissions advisor who specializes in top boarding schools the answer is always no. The next question they ask is about price.  Here is the conundrum: By not hiring a qualified private school expert they have essentially saved tuition payments to their intended top school.

Here is a list of advantages of hiring a boarding school expert:

  • Boarding school experts have personal and current specialized knowledge of the educational missions of boarding schools and how to find one that would be a good fit for you and your family.
  • Boarding school experts continually visit schools to gain first-hand experience and insight of each school’s unique perspective and workings.
  • Boarding school experts know what questions to ask you to assess how your application should be framed to demonstrate your child’s uniqueness, as well as how to carry themselves during their school visits.
  • Boarding school experts assist families with school applications and review.
  • Boarding school experts provide mock interview prep sessions for parent and student interviews.
  • Boarding school experts have the unique opportunity to learn from and interact one-on-one with the heads of schools, directors of admissions and senior admissions personnel.
  • Boarding school experts understand the diplomacy and advocacy needed for their clients.

It’s your child’s education and future, don’t make the mistake of betting incorrectly.  Hire an expert!  Our clients are accepted into Andover, Exeter, St. Paul’s, Lawrenceville, Deerfield, Choate, Loomis Chaffee, Hotchkiss, Taft, Kent to name a few.  We must be doing something right!

Waitlisted at Top Boarding Schools – Now What?

Since March 10th, my firm has been inundated with continuous inquires (phone calls and emails) from stunned and stressed-out parents because their children are wait-listed.  Many of the inquiries are from parents whose children have been wait-listed from ALL schools to which they applied!

More families are choosing boarding schools for their children; thus, the competition has increased. Boarding schools that were competitive are now hyper-competitive and schools that were marginally competitive are now competitive. We have observed an increase in applications (and therefore waitlisted applicants) in top U.S. boarding schools.  Choate, Andover, Ext

WAIT-LISTED means that “we love your child, but we don’t have spot available today, tomorrow or perhaps never”.  Two factors are important to consider:

  • SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT in your child’s application process.  Parents make a lot of mistakes on their child’s application.
  • In this hypercompetitive environment, in many cases, wait-listed may be “forever”. Top schools rarely “reject” students outright.  The outcome, however, remains unchanged…a perpetually waitlisted student has not been accepted and will not have a place in their private school of choice.

Many parents are mistakenly drawing from their skills as corporate executives, tiger moms, financiers, etc. rather than accepting the benefits of a consultant’s professional skills and years of experience in private admissions diplomacy. An understanding of real-time changes, as well as nuances particular to each school at a particular point in time are important for successful outcomes in private school admissions to top schools.  Many parents also fail to fully appreciate and understand the human element of diplomacy in the selection process and decisions in private school admissions.  As a result, after the waitlist, they reapply again only to be waitlisted AGAIN.

When parents call our firm to inquire about our services, they engage us because they understand the importance of investing in their child’s educational future.  The successful outcome is invaluable and preferable compared to the prospect of their child being waitlisted again and again and again.

Boarding School Decisions: Waitlisted or Rejected? What’s the Next Step?

Boarding_School_Waitlisted_Rejected_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Independent_Educational_Consultant

Boarding school decisions are out!  As expected, my firm is receiving continuous inquires to engage us (phone calls and emails) from stunned and stressed-out parents because their children are wait-listed and rejected!  In some cases, their children have been wait-listed/rejected from ALL schools to which they applied.

All the parents are disappointed, unhappy and anxious because they are aware of the superior education at top boarding schools and that these schools are stepping stones to the Ivy League colleges and universities.

If your child was outright REJECTED the next step is to either settle for public school or reapply next year. If your child is WAIT-LISTED (which means “although we love your child, we don’t have spot available today, tomorrow or perhaps never”), you may wish to simply wait and see what will happen or reapply next year.  Waitlists may be active for just the notification period that a school is enrolling students, or it may continue to be active through the spring and sometimes into the summer. In both cases, you may wish to retain the services of an admissions expert who understands the changing waitlist policies for schools and the off-waitlist as well as reapplication process and nuances because of the hyper-competitive nature of the Ten Schools and other top-tier boarding schools.

Successful boarding school admissions requires expertise and experience to understand how to manage risks, navigate pitfalls, design the right admissions strategies, and most importantly understand the admissions policies and professionals who are making admissions decisions – in other words an admissions expert!

Do you really want to risk mistakes or make the same mistake twice?

We find that many parents underestimate the risk of failure and over estimate the chances of success based on what they believe. This is not the time to take chances – it’s your child’s future!

When parents call our firm to inquire about our services the first thing they ask is what is your price?  Your fees?

It’s amazing that 95% of parents who are willing to spend $240,000 or more over 4 years on private (boarding) high school education for their children waste time attempting to haggle fees for an exclusive advisory service that will will increase the chances of that education!  I have discovered that parents who are shopping for services based on price, have already made the decision to not invest in expert advice that will help their children.  They ultimately end up saving $240,000 in private high school tuition (their child attends public school) or worse pay $240,000 for a third-tier school education. Our market is specifically the 5%, parents who hire us and their children get into top schools! 

Parents who choose to work with Dr. Lowe invest in the children’s educational future!
