Dr. Paul Lowe Discusses Fairfax County Public High Schools-Virginia and BS/MD Admissions (2024)

February 28, 2024 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Fairfax County Public High Schools (Virginia) comprise 28 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:

Chantilly High School
Langley High School
Madison High School
Marshall High School
Oakton High School
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology
West Springfield High School
W.T. Woodson High School

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 school, 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 high schools exceed 600 students.

Unlike other educational consulting firms, where clients are assigned to different employees or consultants, Dr. Lowe, as lead consultant/admissions advisor, personally works with each of his clients so that they directly benefit from his expertise, experience, contacts and the collective knowledge of his educational team.

Dr. Lowe’s exclusivity allows him to provide individualized attention, commitment and principal availability to each client. Track record – 28 years of client acceptances to BS/MD programs and Ivy League colleges/universities.

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

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.

“As an admissions expert, I am always cognizant of the unforeseen circumstances and unfavorable consequences that may adversely affect my clients’ positive outcomes. Because of our vigilance and comprehensive strategies, my clients are ACCEPTED into BS/MD programs as well as Ivy League and competitive colleges and universities with superior pre-med programs.” – Dr. Paul Lowe

SUNY Albany-Upstate Medical Center Abruptly Closes UAS BS/MD Program

November 8, 2023November 8, 2023 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Another BS/MD Program is closing in 2023!

BS_MD_Program_Closings_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Admissions_Advisor_Independent_Educational_Consultant_HECA

SUNY Albany has informed (2023) applicants that SUNY Upstate Medical University, its affiliated medical school with the BS/MD program “has made the decision to conclude the Upstate Accelerated Scholarship program to new applicants effective immediately.”

SUNY Upstate Medical University and Alnaby had an established partnership to form the Upstate Accelerated Scholars Program (UAS).

Since the SUNY Albany will no longer be accepting applicants, the competition to gain admissions into BS/MD programs will now increase because there will be fewer programs.

Now it has become even more competitive as more BS/MD programs have closed and the number slots are dwindling!

We recommend that high school juniors and their parents read our blog as we expect more closures: “High School Juniors-Time To Get Serious About BS/MD Plans – 2023

Supreme Court Ruling’s Effect on Ivy League and BS/MD Admissions

Supreme_Court_College_Ivy_League_BS_MD_Admissions_Dr_Paul_Lowe_Educational_Consultant

August 1, 2023August 4, 2023 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

For almost 27 years, I have been writing about the changes and nuances in college admissions.

The Supreme Court’s ruling against Harvard University and University of North Carolina could lead to an admissions system that is even more subjective and mysterious, as colleges try to follow the law but also admit a diverse class of students. The Ivy League colleges and universities and BS/MD programs are aware that a diverse class leads the enhanced learning for alumni and future medical doctors.

Officials at some selective institutions have predicted that there would be less emphasis on standardized metrics like test scores and class rank, and more emphasis on personal qualities, told through recommendations and the application essay — the opposite of what many opponents of affirmative action had hoped for.

It would be nearly impossible, however, to eliminate any mention or suggestion of race in the admissions process — starting with applicants’ names. What is certain is that admissions committees can surmise in many cases based on years of reviewing applications and technology, an applicant’s race, cultural background and socio-economic caste.

Additionally, “Landscape”, developed by the College Board, is a tool meant to help admissions offices go beyond test scores and GPAs and considers what applicant have achieved in the context of where they’ve learned and lived.

Another factor (caused indirectly by SCOTUS) that will affect admissions – review of legacy admissions. Applicants whose siblings were admitted will now face admissions committees that will not factor in the legacy component.

What do the above changes mean for the college admissions environment for high school classes: 2024, 2025 and 2026?

My firm, in predicting the outcome, has already developed strategies and an admissions network and contacts to further increase our clients’ chances of admissions!…If you believe that your child’s chances will not be affected by the SCOTUS decision, think again! We have had meetings with BS/MD program and Ivy League admissions officers and understand how the decision will affect student applications!

National Association for College Admissions Counseling -School Counselors Caseloads

July 25, 2023July 25, 2023 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

NEW National Association for College Admission Counseling – State of College Admission 2023 Data Release – School Counseling: Caseloads and Responsibilities indicate the following:

(1) During the 2021-22 academic year, each public school counselor was responsible for overseeing 405 students, on average, which exceeds the 250-to-1 maximum ratio recommended by the American School Counselor Association.

(2) School counselors at public schools spend 26% (at private schools: 51%) of their time on post-secondary (college admissions) counseling.

Over the past 27 years, my team and I have complemented the college admissions tasks of school counselors and, at times, worked collaboratively with them to help our clients gain admissions into Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities and BS/MD programs!

It’s a WIN-WIN for students (our clients – international and U.S.) and their school counselors!
