Harvard University is the highest-ranked Ivy League school in The Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Ranking 2022 (WSJ/THE College Rankings 2022), followed in order by Yale University, Brown University and Princeton University.

Here is a list of The Ivy League – Ranked

Harvard University (Dr. Lowe Visits Harvard) | (Harvard University Produces Wealthy Alumni) (1)
Yale University (4)
Brown University (6)
Princeton University (8)
Cornell University (11)
University of Pennsylvania (12)
Dartmouth College (13)
Columbia University (16)

The WSJ/THE College Rankings takes a different approach as compared to other rankings; it emphasizes the return on investment students see after they graduate. Schools that fare the best on this list have graduates who generally are satisfied with their educational experience and land relatively high-paying jobs that can help them pay down student loans.” These two factors are clearly why our clients retain us as admissions advisors who specialize in Ivy League admissions: Ivy League Admissions Advisors and seek the personalized superior admissions advice from Dr. Paul Lowe.

TCNJ/NJMS is a 7-year direct BS/MD program where students are accepted to both the medical school and TCNJ and to earn both the baccalaureate/BS degree from TCNJ and the MD degree from NJMS in seven years.

It’s a 3+4 program where students spend three years at TCNJ in an approved major (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, Philosophy, Physics, Economics, Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Science (mechanical or electrical emphasis), Math, Spanish or History) and four at NJMS. Upon successful completion of the first year of medical school, the student is granted the BS or BA degree in the chosen undergraduate major from TCNJ. The M.D. degree is then earned at the end of four years at NJMS.

On average 400 students apply each year, and about 40 students are accepted in TCNJ/NJMS. Last year, 2 of our clients were accepted to TCNJ/NJMS.

Top US Boarding Schools Dr Paul Lowe Admissions Advisor Educational Consultant

International students studying in the United States enhance their English skills, find it easier to enter U.S. universities and have improved career prospects. These are excellent reasons why international families seriously consider an American boarding school for their child.

Students who attend an American boarding school will obtain their F-1 student visa for school. When they graduate, schools will prepare the Form I-20 transfer documentation so there is little or no delay for them to start their college education in the United States if they so desire.

Education from a top boarding school will teach him or her the education and life skills he or she needs to succeed anywhere in the world.

Parents of international students choose boarding schools for their strong academics results and university prep programs that help students be accepted to top universities in the US. They also choose US boarding schools for the unique programs that cannot be found in high schools in their own country.

At Boarding School Admissions Consultants (BSAC), we provide admissions counseling and placement to assist students and their families prepare EXCLUSIVELY for admission to top U.S. boarding schools – including but not limited to Andover, Exeter, Choate, Loomis, Deerfield, Lawrenceville, St. Paul’s, Hotchkiss, Taft, etc. International parents who desire the best high school education for their children choose us.

Dr. Lowe and his team work with international students and from time to time will consult with immigration attorneys regarding their client’s immigration status and its relationship to their admissions process.
