H-1B and College/BSMD Admissions

September 26, 2025 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

H1-B visa programs is one of the several immigration programs for workers with specialized skills.

A person can stay in the United States for a maximum of six years under this visa, which has often been a pathway to a green card. Children of parents who have been granted H-1B status have H-4 visas.

Companies that want to hire employees from certain countries using H1-B visa program now have to pay $100,000

The new fee now introduces a degree of uncertainty, chaos and confusion around the H1-B program.

As an admissions expert, with 29 years’ experience, Dr. Lowe understands the nuances and changes in the college admissions process, specifically with students who wish to attend highly competitive BS/MD programs that accept H-4 visa students.

Continual changes in U.S immigration policy have always had a direct effect on H-4 visa students who are applying to BS/MD programs, for example, delays in the issuance of Green Cards (also called Permanent Resident Cards). If their parents’ Green Cards do not come through before they turn 21, they “age out.” These students then have to switch to student or work visas to remain in the U.S. or face deportation. Delays in visa status can result in clouds of uncertainty.

Dr. Lowe works with many students whose parents are H-1B professionals. They are highly skilled and come to the US mainly on the H-1B work visas.

Dr. Lowe has worked with students who, because of delays in their parents’ permanent legal residency, had to indicate that they were non-permanent residents/non-citizen students on their college applications, therefore limiting the number of BS/MD schools to which they could apply. Fortunately, over the years, with Dr. Lowe’s help, many were admitted to several BS/MD programs, including but not limited to: Brown University Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME).

Dr. Lowe and his team work with H4 visa students and from time to time will consult with immigration attorneys regarding their client’s immigration status and its relationship to their admissions process. As a result, Dr. Lowe has been quite successful in placing H4 visa students into BS/MD programs.

Many H-1B parents call merely to garner information, thinking that they can navigate the BS/MD process on their own. They initially do not believe in hiring an advisor who specializes in direct BS/MD admissions and placing students into top programs that accept H-4 students.

Unfortunately, these parents discover later, because of their unreliable assumptions, miscalculations and mistakes, that their (children) H-4 students are denied acceptance to BS/MD programs. Some, because of their mistakes, deign to attend second or third tier colleges, or obtain multiple advance degrees, as their dream of becoming a U.S. medical doctor fades away.

“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

Pre-med Advising in College

June 28, 2025June 28, 2025 ~ drpaulloweadmissionsexpert

Many colleges have pre-med/health profession advisors for their students to ensure that students fulfill their pre-med requirements to become a candidate when applying for medical school. They may even advise a student to consider a gap year.

However, based on our discussions with college students who have used their college pre-med/health profession advisors the details of clinical opportunities, doctor shadowing. medical school admissions profile, medical school branding, and their relationship to the actual medical school application and secondary applications and resumes are rarely discussed. When I review their resumes, they are lacking depth or the appropriate clinical, research or volunteer experiences necessary to be a competitive medical school candidate.

So, what should a college student who wishes to be competitive medical school applicant do to stand out and increase their chances of acceptance to medical schools? HIRE AN EXPERT with experience and a track record of medical acceptances!

At Medical School Admissions Advisors, we provide advice to help our clients bolster their pre-med profiles (in their sophomore, junior, senior and/or gap year) so they can be accepted to medical schools.

Congratulations to our clients who transferred to and will be attending the following colleges/universities this fall 2025:

Barnard
Brown
Columbia
Cornell
Duke
MIT
Stanford
UPenn

It’s important that parents (and students) understand that transfer (especially to the Ivies) is even more competitive and involves even more documentation than first-time, first-year applicants.

Students are on their own during the transfer process: There is no school counseling support available for example when they were in high school and there is no transfer help from the college which they are currently attending.

Dr. Paul Lowe develops admissions strategies to help my clients successfully navigate the transfer admissions process!

Lots of parents use the “do it yourself route” or hire an inexperienced educational consultant in attempt to navigate an oftentimes daunting, ever-changing and uncertain admissions/application process.

An applicant’s profile is really a conversation amongst admissions committee members. One component out of sync will raise red flags that will cause a rejection. An admissions expert will work with you to discover MISTAKES and omissions, as well as continually and comprehensively help you through the process in completing the task of applying to top educational institutions.

This year, I am celebrating my 29th year as an admissions/knowledge advisor specializing in helping students get accepted to elite boarding schools: Andover, Exeter, Choate, Deerfield, etc.; Ivy League colleges/universities: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc.; top BS/MD programs: Brown PLME, RPI/Albany Med, U Rochester (REMS) and top medical schools: Harvard Med, Johns Hopkins Med, UPenn Perelman Med, etc.

Your Personal Brand Matters for Admissions

May 1, 2025 ~ 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.

How do you create and convey a distinct and memorable impression?
How do you define the incomparable you?
How do you persuade others to recognize the authentic irreplaceable value you will bring to an educational institution?
How do you ensure that the admissions profile you create is about the unique you?
How do you successfully communicate your personal brand to admissions committees?
How do you avoid creating the wrong impression that will cause instant rejection?
How do you assess your unique attributes in comparison to your peers?
Do you know how people who don’t know you feel about you?
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.
