New_Jersey_Private_Schools_Dr_Lowe_Educational_Consultant

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.

(1) Families who have been waitlisted can either attempt on their own to be removed from the waitlist (not recommended) or hire an expert who has the track record of success in admissions to private schools.

(2) Families who have been rejected should try to reapply with the help of an admissions advisor who is an expert in the private school reapplication process.  Why?  They do not want to make the same mistakes twice.

Dr. Paul Lowe:  Why His Clients Love The Lawrenceville School

The_Lawrenceville_School_Dr_Paul_Lowe_New_Jersey_Admissions_Advisors

Lawrenceville is one of the Ten Schools and what makes it unique among other elite New England schools is that it is only one hour from Manhattan.  Its enrollment is 818 students, but appears as a smaller school because of its unique house system. The Lawrenceville School sits on more than 700 beautiful acres in suburban New Jersey 

Lawrenceville is one of the most prestigious, elite and highly selective boarding schools in the world.  Its acceptance rate is 19%.

  • “I really enjoy the house system.” – Junior-student
  • “My daughter transitioned from middle school to Lawrenceville. The Harkness method of teaching keeps classes small and interactive.” – Parent of a freshman
  • “Dr. Lowe helped through the entire boarding school application process.  My son was accepted Lawrenceville!  He is now at Columbia.” – Parent of a graduate of Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville’s college matriculation rate to Ivy League and highly selective colleges and universities is high.  Here is a list of colleges/universities attended over the past five years.

  • Brown (22)
  • Carnegie Mellon (13)
  • Columbia (26)
  • Cornell (32)
  • Dartmouth (17)
  • Georgetown (41)
  • Harvard (26)
  • MIT (9)
  • Princeton (39)
  • Stanford (11)
  • Tufts (23)
  • University Chicago (21)
  • UPenn (40)
