High School Seniors have received their College Admissions Early Decision/Early Action results. The results are producing a mixture of palpable emotions. While some happy students settle in for the holidays with their acceptance letters in hand, others will be disappointed and distressed in discovering that they have been deferred to the regular decision pool by the college or university. For those who are deferred, their applications will be re-considered along with the thousands of Regular Decision applicants. In the Regular Decision pool, the selection process becomes even more competitive and selective.
With only a few weeks left in the application season, I recommend that students scrupulously reevaluate their deferred early decision/early action application and carefully plan a workable strategy in this crunch-time. It’s not just about the letter of continued interest. It’s more! You may need to hire an educational consultant who is an expert in post-decision admissions advising. Our team begins to implement a Post-Decision Strategy right away that will continue through regular decision.
What to do next? Now is the time to evaluate and successfully complete the admissions process by looking at your child through a professional lens. Our strategies re-energize their application so that they are removed from the deferred list and placed on the accepted list.
Through our College Knowledge Network, we know that between 5% – 10% of students who are deferred admissions are accepted to the same college Regular Decision. Based on our experience and 29-years track record of success, 95% of students who approach us and retain us before January 1, after being deferred, are ACCEPTED Regular Decision.

High School Juniors: if you are interested in applying to BS/MD programs—it’s time to reevaluate your BS/MD Plans! With such a competitive environment and the immeasurable value and benefits of BS/MD programs, the need for an effective admissions game plan is CRUCIAL.
Many aspects of the BS/MD admissions environment have changed. At BS/MD Admissions Advisors, Dr. Paul Lowe and his team of advisors discover that many students and parents are clueless about what to do, when to do it, where to do it, who to contact, and why. If you are a high school junior or your son or daughter is a high school junior and you are thinking about applying to direct BS/MD programs, it’s time to reassess your plans.
Most students (even with the help of their parents) read books, look at videos or visit college forum-type websites which they believe may provide personalized answers for them.
Many parents who call us (and whose children are performing the above and have the below profile) then believe that their child is a shoo-in for BS/MD programs and just need “some” advice.
Here is the typical BS/MD applicant-student profile of students when parents contact us:
GPA: 4.85 (weighted)
ACT: 35
SAT: 1580
APs: usually 10 -14 classes
Honors/Awards: several
Teacher/Counselor Recommendations: Excellent
Resume: 3-4 pages
Volunteer: Several organizations
Shadowed Doctors: 3-4
Extracurricular Activities: Several
Published a paper: 1-2
Laboratory Research: Participated and/or possibly published
With all of the above you would believe that this student will definitely be accepted – WRONG! This represents the most common and well-known factors for admissions. However, there are many more things to consider.
Here’s a small list of factors by admissions expert, Dr. Paul Lowe that you should consider if you are a junior seriously thinking about applying to BS/MD programs.
Student CHARACTER – Each institution considers a student’s positive attributes in the light of the goals of the particular institution. BS/MD programs thoroughly evaluate character attributes of a student as a factor for admissions. Among the most important character attributes are honesty, integrity, empathy, curiosity, creativity, teamwork, adaptability, resilience, community, generosity, self-control, adaptability and optimism. Lip-service or just stating that one possesses these attributes will not help.
COLLEGE-SPECIFIC SUPPLEMENTALS – You must complement and synergize your supplementals with your personal statement. All the school-specific essays are important, even the 50 word-count answers! Students have been rejected because of mistakenly using one word or a sentence in 50 word-count essays!
WOW FACTOR – What’s your WOW Factor? How and when can you use it to WOW admissions? You want the admissions committee to say “WOW! We want this applicant on our campus.”
ETIQUETTE –Are you mindful of how you present yourself and how people perceive you? Etiquette matters! We provide personalized etiquette strategies for our clients.
MANNERS – When you say something (or write something) what counts is not what you mean but how you are heard and perceived. Are you mindful of your manners? Manners matter! Do you know when or if you sound rude, pretentious, impolite, disrespectful, unrefined or uncultured?
WHO ARE YOU? – What are your values? What do you stand for? Can you define you? Why are you different?
INTERVIEWS – You may be perfect on paper (grades, SATs recommendations, volunteering to save the world, 1000 hours of shadowing), however, one incorrect word or statement in an interview results in a rejection – That’s right, just one!
The KNOW-HOW. Our proprietary-knowledge, unmatched experience, admissions success and years of close working relationships with admissions professionals ensures that you do it right!
If you know how to plan, develop and implement (1-7) and how they are used in BS/MD admissions – that’s wonderful!!! But if you don’t, there is an increased probability that you (and your child) will make irrevocable mistakes that will cause instant rejections to all schools. Would you want this to happen after your years of planning as a parent and your child’s hard work?

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

Several of the parents who have called me for BS/MD programs, because of the competitive nature of BS/MD program medical school admissions, have been asking me about comparing U.S. BS/MD vs India MBBS degree and whether there is an advantage to a U.S. BS/MD.
First let’s define the degrees: Doctor of Medicine (MD) is a professional (post graduate) degree given in some countries like the USA, Canada etc. Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) is the degree given in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other commonwealth countries like India and is considered equivalent to the MD.
For the Commonwealth countries, MBBS is an undergraduate course of study which is pursued by candidates who wish to make their career in the field of medicine. Whereas, MD is a postgraduate course that can be pursued by candidates who have completed their MBBS.
The US follows a different curriculum for obtaining a medical degree and license to practice Medicine. Unlike India, high school students apply to direct BS/MD programs and earn an M.D. upon completion of the program. Over the course of the program, the students have Pre-Medical courses and earn a Bachelor’s degree (up to four years of Undergraduate program), MD program (Four years) and USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1, 2 & 3). A Residency Program is required to complete the Licensing Exam. After completing all, a student
A student, after completion of MBBS, cannot practice directly since the basic level of study to practice is postgraduate medicine in the US. USMLE has clearly defined the medical courses after MBBS to be completed in the US.
Even with the competitive nature of U.S. BS/MD programs, because of my track record of admissions success, parents of U.S. citizen/permanent resident or H4 visa high school students should contact me!

Competitive and selective college admissions is all about standing out!
